to their elders. Is Richter, for instance, comparable in artistry to.... a Delacroix?
Art just doesn't mean as much to the culture--- people actually used to look to art for seminal portrayals of meaningful events in their history/culture--- and Damien Hirst has brought it all to a head w/his placing of dead animals into large plastic cubes.
In other words, is concept enough?
How about skill in actual "creation?"
Does Richter have the skills in painting to even hold the easel of a minor 18th century French painter?
Follow Ups:
He has extensive photo-realism and post-impressionist work that would put to rest any question about skill.
