Post from Mark Barry
With regards to [Kara] Walker and [John] Currin, I admire their work a lot.
The edge they may have originally had for me is tamed by overexposure.
As much as I like Mr Currin’s painting I equally dislike the boasting, something about being the greatest painter working or similar. Only Ali is the greatest, beyond him it becomes just silly, paint already.
—Mark Barry is a painter living in Baltimore.
