Woman Descending the Staircase
Episode description
Here’s a few tidbits of introduction to the painting Woman Descending the Staircase:
- Abstract Expressionist and/or Photo Realistic
- Woman Descending the Staircase – pure movement
- What’s Duchamp got to do with it?
The first time I saw a Gerhard Richter painting in person I thought he was a photographer. That’s his remarkable skill. Here, though, Richter works through opposites. His masterpiece, Woman Descending the Staircase illustrates this duality. He first creates a photo realistic work. Then Richter messes with it. Of course, he doesn’t always blur his paintings. Richter leaves some photo-realistic works crisp and pristine. These portray a meticulous reality. But sometimes he adds a step and also abstracts it.
