The Death of Painting

I wanted to ask you, if there was something in the end, and you are, of course, more than any other critic, you are associated with the so-called death of painting. And yet, your dialectical thinking in which you rock, rock, rock,. rock, I can't help but think of it as being sort of parallel to psychoanalysis's ambivalence. Is there something specific about painting as a medium that allows it to produce such contradictory meanings simultaneously? Like, is this part of paintings gestalt and that has made it available not only to Richter, but to you and or are we always in some kind of relation of belatedness?"
