01 / belief

One thing I remember that was fantastic, which is one in the eye for the people who are always going on about the camera obscura, which I think is one of the more boring things people talk about when they talk about Vermeer.

One of the very few things I have bought in the last 10 years was a Mennonite textile made somewhere in the southern states of America out of little bits of the black suits of the mourning costumes of the men. A beautiful thing, and it was, I think, $1,000.

Again, I remember I reviewed in New York many years ago—I don’t know when it would be, shortly before de Kooning died—there was an exhibition of his late work, and people were quite skeptical about it.

If Museum X has lots of paintings by Richter, Museum Y also does, Museum A, B, C, D, E, they’ve all got lots of paintings by Richter. In my opinion, Richter’s work of the last 20 years is almost worthless.

He’s an unusual painter because he decides to extend and deepen a tradition that he has nothing to do with personally, nationally, or historically.

I think I may have seen those late, although the paintings were actually hung 120 yards apart, because when they put on that exhibition, they obviously weren’t aware of the context that I’d discovered.

Mystical aesthetics is where I would go with this because it seems to me that it’s a proper miracle that a painting that has nothing—nothing on its side, no one fighting for it, no one rooting for it, no name, it’s got nothing except itself—survives 400 years.

I think there’s this very strong Christian undertow to this classical painting where you’ve got a basin and a cloth, and one of Diana’s nymphs is washing her feet, much as Mary Magdalene washes the feet of Christ in Flemish altarpieces.
