“We don’t get inspired by each other, we steal from each other”. See what happens when you put two artists who are also friends together, and get them to comment on each other’s paintings.

Tal R (b. 1967) and Daniel Richter (b. 1962) belong to the same current in visual art. In the video they express their obvious respect for each other. Tal R admires Richter’s painting style, Daniel Richter has an eye for the humorous sides of Tal R’s pictures.
