Lisa Oppenheim

“Mostly, though, Ms. Oppenheim pulls off a difficult trick: preserving some of the wonder and urgency of early photography while subjecting it to contemporary strategies of repetition and reiteration.” - Karen Rosenberg, New York Times review of Lisa Oppenheim: Equivalents

Gerhard Richter - Self Portrait Standing, Three Times, 17.3.1991, 1991. Painted photographs on paper

From the Tate Gallery, London:

As well as painting canvases based on photographic images since 1989, Richter has also painted actual photographs to create works. In doing so, he has emphasised the surface reality of the pain interacting with the forms in the photographs. In this serial work, Richter has used six identical prints of a photograph, which consists of a triple exposure of the artist standing in his studio. On each successive print, he applied more and more paint using a squeegee and a brush, so that the final work disappears completely, as does his studio. Only paint remains – perhaps representing the artist’s notorious unwillingness to reveal himself.

Lucian Freud - Standing by the Rags, 1888-89. Oil on canvas 

From the Tate Gallery, London:

Since the 1960s the nude has been an important theme in Lucian Freud’s work. The intense attention to the particularities of each body has led some critics to place these pictures in a tradition of realist nudes, which begins with the paintings of Gustave Courbet (1819-77). While many have commented on the disturbing accuracy of Freud’s figure painting he himself has argued for ‘truthfulness as revealing and intrusive, rather than rhyming and soothing’ (quoted inLucian Freud Painting and Etchings, exhibition catalogue, Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal 1996, p.10). Intense scrutiny rather than idealisation is an important theme within Freud’s work. (Read more)
