In Paris

Haven't updated this blog for two weeks or so since I have been to Paris for holiday. Except enjoying afternoon tea in tearoom and wandering in the street, I didn't forget to pop into some exhibitions. One of them is Gerhard Richter's "Panorama" in Centre Pompidou. The artist's photography-like paintings attracted my eyes. The exhibition showcases his abstract works from 1980s to now. He disagreed with Marcel Duchamp's proclamations on the end of painting as an artistic medium. He said that "I'm still sure that paintings is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human."
