Are you sure he didn't just have cataracts?

He is still alive. So it is possible to test.

Or astigmatism, near sightedness...

I will henceforth be posting on !visualarts@lemmy.dbzer0.com primarily. Will occasionally crosspost here to make sure this community doesn't go completely inactive. But that is my primary community now.

I wouldn't say beauty. There is a deep truth hidden in the art and it is connected to the history of Gerhard Richter, the Banality of Evil and Nationalsozialismus.
