      Good god woman…open your fucking mind and let go of your preconceptions of art. There is a reason why Gerhard Richter is a modern master.

    @ amanda blossom – This. Is. Art. Looks wholly deliberate to me. The calculated colour and shape in the paint echoes items missing from the photograph.
