Nice survey of figurative paintings. The highlights included paintings by Eric Fischl, Jenny Saville, Cecily Brown, Freud, Schnabel, Daniel Richter, and Richard Diebenkorn. The Richter really surprised me in the scale and brushwork. I had never seen a Richter in person and became somewhat enamored with the painting. I also enjoyed seeing the Diebenkorn painting. I had seen the painting in a couple of different catalogues before never really paid much attention to it. The brush handling and colors were classic Diebenkorn. It was reminiscent of a painting in the Phillips Collection. Click the link below to view a video of the show. There is also a catalogue available.
