I've seen a few paintings in the MOMA and was blown away by the size and the precision.

Very moving. I'll be going again. <br /><br />I know just what you mean about the intimidating ambience of private galleries.<br /><br />Thanks very much for sharing the connections.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484411878651364981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-61145239369632467102011-11-20T15:17:17.682+00:002011-11-20T15:17:17.682+00:00I also had not heard of Richter..... how wonderful...I also had not heard of Richter..... how wonderful for you to take in this exhibition and the others. I just a love a day "doing" London and exhibitions, although it has been a considerable time since I have done so.

(I'd heard of Richter, but I'm not sure I'd even seen any of his paintings.)Really interesting to see the links between them.

Those Richter photo paintings are so powerful - I think partly because his approach makes the images seem impossibly old and faraway, but they're intimate at the same time. <br /><br />No, painting from photos is definitely not colouring in!James Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199461104138671799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-71187857716852539982011-11-18T11:07:12.015+00:002011-11-18T11:07:12.015+00:00Jane, I saw the interview on tv with Richter the o...Jane, I saw the interview on tv with Richter the other week and was ashamed to hear that he is considered the world's greates living artist - yet I had never heard of him. How embarrassing is that? I have since rectified the gap in my knowledge and envy you the day out even if it was a bit 'full on'. Saturating yourself in art for the day sounds like bliss and now I have another artist to investigate. I love that Roy Orbison painting and will have to find out more.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.com
