49 Tafeln

Gerhard Richter's 48 Tafeln (48 Portraits) has recently been put up in the National Portrait Gallery in London. All of Richter’s portraits of ‘great nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural figures’ - specifically: composers, philosophers, literateurs, and scientists - are of white males. What women and men who would not describe themselves as ‘white’, might be included? This blog is devoted to that question, and we invite you to join us in devising 49 Tafeln (to go Richter one better!).
