“Like all media, painting has certain weapons of mass destruction at its disposal. Fervent fans of painting (like
me) think these WMD’s are the reasons painting has been around for so long and why it's so bottomless. They include drawing, color, surface, touch, working
from the imagination or observation and the mystical ability to embed thought in viscous substance. This
alchemical artillery is typically restricted or curtailed altogether in work that simply reproduces a photograph by mechanical means. The results are what I often think
of as fake art and easy solutions.
-Jerry Saltz (Art Critic) an excerpt from “The Richter Solution” on artnet.com
