Verified profile

Gerhard Richter is considered one of the greatest living artists, a staunch supporter of the still current power of painting in the 21st century. Although the artist in his long career has gone from figurative painting (portraits, landscapes, cities, mountains, clouds) to the intuition of the value of photography as a pictorial element, he has always alternated these moments with other periods dedicated to abstract painting. Abstraction is everyday life for me, it's as normal as walking or breathing he said. As the artist's catalog raisonné documents, from 1966 Richter began to explore a wide range of gray monochromes, generally referred to as “Gray Paintings.” This production, which greatly increased in the 1970s, has often been interpreted as a reaffirmation of purity Attracted by color neutrality, Richter creates a vast amount of paintings - different in size, hue, degree of visibility and brushstroke orientation. "Gray is the epitome of non-statement," says Richter, ' it does not trigger off feelings or associations, it is actually neither visible nor invisible ... Like no other color it is suitable for illustrating 'nothing ". it wants to allude to nothing but itself, or paradoxically, to the nothing that the color gray has the power to illustrate.
