Figuration meets Abstraction

Gerhard Richter my favorite painting the safari lion the photo doesn't even do it justice

This trip was a lot more successful than my last trip to London. I am so happy that I got to see the Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Tate modern. His influence from other artists is very evident for example Marcel Duchamp. Richter's toilet roll was invoking on Duchamps famous urinal fountain. The use of paint was gentle though with sensitive treatment in contrast to Duchamp's bold fountain.
