art and life (time and materials)

Hi Class,

For Wednesday, please look over these two Robert Hass poems (coursepack pp. 39-42) in addition to commenting on your peers’ essays. The Gerhard Richter paintings that Hass discusses are in a post farther down. Unfortunately, they don’t get bigger when you click them, so there is also a link to a website with more of his work. Here’s Vermeer’s milkmaid, who also appears in John Berger, from long ago. Click it to enlarge it big time. It’s a good digital reproduction, so you should be able to see it in great detail.

See you soon.
