Abstract (en)

Discusses the recent work of two American painters, Eric Fischl and Robert Bechtle, noting differences and similarities in their approach to realism and the depiction of ordinary life. Highlights the psychological edge to their paintings and their mutual interest in subtly manipulating the conventions of the photographic snapshot, which brings their work onto common ground.
