Gerhard Richter on at the National Galleries

Beautiful Tuesday - cold, fresh and sunny - one of my favourite types of weather.  Edinburgh's weather can be very windy, which I hate - but today had none of it.  Crisp Blue Sky, I love this weather, wish that winter could be like this every day.

I walked by the Rose Street Self Catering Edinburgh Apartment ,  cleared up for the next guests, and then headed to the National Galleries (on Hanover St and Princes St), to view the Gerhard Richter exhibition.  Having seen the Tracey Enim exhibition earlier this year, I was wondering what would be on display in this exhibition.  The paintings were very modern, and each room exhibited a completely different style.  Definitely an artist to be discussed, and my 'mathie' background did not understand it all, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.  He is a modern artist, born in Dresden, Germany 1932, and I am guessing that his experience of having a childhood in Germany during the second world war were part of the make-up of some of the more disturbing paintings.  

This exhibition is certainly worth a visit, and I would imagine that it would keep many art students busy in discussions.
