Elyn Saks, 2009 MacArthur Fellow

LA’s Mark Bradford and Elyn Saks are among this year’s 24 recipients of $500,000 “genius” grants from the MacArthur Foundation. Bradford, a mixed media artist, creates collages with found objects. Saks is a USC law professor whose own battle with schizophrenia has informed her advocacy for those suffering from mental illness. Larry finds out more about their work and how they’re going to spend all that cash.
