Luka's ignoring me! I asked in earnest Luke, not an invitation to bicker
Not sure what I meant exactly. Wait till I'm sober and I will explain. Maybe, in the mean time why don't you think about what it might mean.

I would say by necessity, no? Painting was top dog when it was necessarily the best way of visually representing reality. When a better way came along, painting was dethroned by photography in the reign over the image, in terms of representation, and thus painting had to transmogrify its MO into abstraction, seeing as its prior claim had been annexed by stronger forces.How might image have come to displace painting
It identified an end in itself, some kind of immanence that was out of reach of the photo?That's right but no painting can be a good painting unless it's a painting. A painting as image is not worth spit.
I dont know what makes a painting a painting, something ambiguous about transcendence
I think Ive lost the thread. I thought this conversation was about how an ab ex work like richter's can be an 'image' and not a *paintingMaybe something to do with the material and what you can only achieve in that medium?
