GERARD RICHTER/4

material, photo, images

 

Gerhard Richter artwork is full of tension between reality of the painting and the reality created by the painting itself: process and material. Richter is known for his photo-paintings, particularly his landscapes, and his complex abstract artwork. Despite the vastness of his artistic work, commonly poorly interpreted as polar, Richter’s painting develops across a unifying theme which at the same time may be expressed as:

  1. The images (and the ideas and ideals) are static, superficial, inaccessible, and must be approached with the strength of doubt.
  2. Reality is a process of imagination and material creation and revision.

The subject of Richter’s painting is the field of the relationships between illusion and the reality created by his paintings.
