We have to keep in mind that the ambiguity of the photograph lies - according to Roland Barthes - in its semantic underdetermination. Therefore the meaning of photographs will change depending on their context. Captions determine therefore their meanings. I am just wondering how this is the case with paintings? And what is more relevant: What the art critic might write about works of arts or the artist himself? It looks like in Gerhard Richter's case he has to comment a lot himself. His "Writings" has now more than 600 pages; the first edition in 1993 was only 288.Dr. Anja Casparyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168807052252909928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051425824673898715.post-27955419943150988742011-02-06T08:45:47.816-08:002011-02-06T08:45:47.816-08:00Gwenn, I love the link to your blog -- and your se...Gwenn, I love the link to your blog -- and your set of "worded" paintings. I hadn't thought of Richter's comments (and those of other artists, for that matter) in quite that way. <br /><br />As a general process, I think the art comes first AND last. With the talking in the middle. And that the talking in the middle always runs into walls it can't get over. The talk has its limits, which is why so much of it devolves into "I know what I like" (plus we aren't taught how to talk about art). But whether that talk is consequential or not (and consequential I believe is better than not), we go back to the art for one last look.<br /><br />But I can totally understand your point. If you are Richter, hundreds of thousands, millions, of words have been written about your work. Maybe you worry that the activity of looking at the art gets lost in all those words, overdetermining words. And you want to say, stop talking about it so much and look. I guess I don't think that's a problem so much: In the end, the words lead us back to the art.Barry Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025142209441081323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051425824673898715.post-49932192687182150942011-02-05T22:59:59.827-08:002011-02-05T22:59:59.827-08:00A picture may be worth a thousand words, but text ...A picture may be worth a thousand words, but text associated with an image can also very easily turn the image into an illustration of those words. <br /><br />And I think that's the real rub when it comes to art and words about art. It's not so much that people don't want to be pinned down by their words or made to think a certain way by what words they choose to think in. It's that <a href="http://www.gwennseemel.com/index.php/blog/comments/words_words_words/" rel="nofollow">words can too easily overwhelm the art.</a>Gwenn Seemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146809781064679069noreply@blogger.com
