Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-13 00:00:00 Nima Hala Storr thinks Richter is neither the end of painting nor trying to kill painting -- apparently those are 2 prevalent readings of Richter's work. Storr thinks Richter is actually more of a classical (and not neoclassical) painter who happens to be painting in modern times; that is, Richter has classical ideals. But he got his first real inspiration from the U.S. Pop Art movement. The interview is kind of *fun* after reading 80 pages of dry art history; Richter plays dumb or just doesn't care, or maybe's just become defensive toward critics that seem most interested in attaching his artwork to their prefabricated historical argument. |
Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-05 00:00:00 Roger Wallen thought a book on a boring painter would somehow be interesting. Nope! |
