“I am working very hard, although this morning... I was terrified to see that there was no fog, not even a wisp of mist: I was prostrate, and could see all my paintings done for, but gradually the fires were lit and the smoke and haze came back.” When Monet wrote this in a letter to his wife in 1900, the term “smog” had not yet been coined. But the artist was certainly describing the eerie beauty of polluted fog. In today’s episode, Tori and Emma speak with artist Kim Abeles about her Smog Collectors series and talk to atmospheric scientist Anna Lea Albright about the surprising ties between Impressionism and climate change.
