Philip Pullman on 'A Bar at the Folies-Bergère' by Edouard Manet, 1882.
This painting is full of mystery, ambiguity, doubt. At first sight it seems to do exactly what the title implies, and show a vivid lifelike view of a bar at the popular music hall. There is the marble counter with bottles and a dish of oranges; there is a barmaid behind it waiting to serve us; there is a mirror behind her… but here the mysteries begin.

With his wildly differing styles and notorious reluctance to be interviewed, the German painter Gerhard Richter is one of the most enigmatic of artists. Yet Martin Gayford (from the Daily Telegraph) finds him surprisingly talkative about his history, painting, and his forthcoming series of exhibitions.
