Richard Estes, painter

Today Linda and I saw an exhibition of paintings and silk screenings by Richard Estes at the Museum of Arts and Design on Columbus Circle in Manhattan.  We also ate lunch in the museum’s restaurant on the 9th floor.  Tres elegante.  (And tasty.)

Mr. Estes’s art work is known as “photorealism,” one of my favorite genres.  He is one of the best.  Yes, it took all day.  Yes, the George Washington Bridge is expensive.  Yes, parking was $32 for two hours.  And yes, it was worth it.  

Just Google “Richard Estes paintings” and I think you will agree.  If you want to see the show, hurry.  It ends on Sept. 20.


P.S.:  We bought a copy of the New York Daily News with a picture of Trump and Bush on the front cover with the caption:  “Junior High.”  I’m thinking of having it framed.
