“Easily I drew some sketches that became the final painting Exodus,” said Richardson. The piece is loosely inspired by "The Flight into Egypt," a pencil drawing by French Realist Jean-Francois Millet. Like her painting for the Fence Art Project, Millet’s Flight features two people intimately connected, something which immediately stood out to Richardson when she first saw it during a lecture on the video meeting app Zoom. But it was the way that a more well-known artist was impacted by Millet’s images that really influenced the Savannahian in her own work. “[Vincent] Van Gogh only saw black and white reproductions of [Millet’s] work because of the limitations of printing in the 19th century,” Richardson recounted. “Instead, he would do what he called ‘color translations.’”
