The team with Richard Thompson at the Alexandria Film Festival screening of “The Art of Richard Thompson”.
From Dr. Anita Auerbach’s eulogy for Richard:
“I asked Richard once when I was meeting with him now at home, as it was clear we were very near the end, “Are you ready?” “Noooo!” was his response. “What more do you want to do?” I asked. He pointed to his favorite caricature of Beethoven behind him and said simply “Art”. Later that same day, as I stood with Nick outside the Thompson home, he said to me ”You know who that is in there [referring to Richard]? That’s Beethoven.”
