@@contemporaryartissue I am very well, Julien, thank you. I hope that you are doing well, too, and that you will bring us more of these amazing videos. I admire you for the great job you are doing, for your knowledge and passion, and I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
His Art literally vibrates with powerful images that evoke life and experience of it! Thank you for this Wonderful video with great commentary through out! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hello dear readers and subscribers, how have you been? Today we'll be discovering the complete works and biography of Gerhard Richter. Why does Richter paint abstract and photorealistic? Why does he blur his pictures? Feel free to like, comment or share, we highly appreciate your support, always! Feel free to watch "The Story of: Mark Rothko" next, or let us know who you would like to see next in this video web series by commenting. Chat soon! All my best, Julien
I am a painting lover. I like Richter's painting so much. I met a man in Belgium. He is an abstract artist. His name is Marc Cuypers. He can do paintings just like Richter's.
Couldn't agree more, the alchemist of painting. Personally, I believe Polke is even more important and ingenious. We have made a video on Polke's Durer Rabbit a while ago, but should indeed perhaps make a more comprehensive video as well. Greetings from Belgium!
@@contemporaryartissue I discovered Richter and his art very late in my life; I can't believe what I've been missing. Calm, well-informed films like this really help to get a more comprehensive picture of the artist and his work.
Quantas retomadas de caminhos ele tem feito! Uns 5 ou 6! O que eu mais gostei foi o de emaranhados coloridos! Que bom saber da expressão artística atual. Obrigado!
Love your content and presentation. Just wondering if there's a chance you get to feature contemporary artists and art practice in Africa and global south.
Hi there, thank you for tuning in. Yes, most certainly. We have done a video on African painters but most of them were based in Europe or the States. More videos to come and I definitely aim to show art from any part of the world. Have a great day!
@@contemporaryartissue thanks. It's really important that institutions are built in Africa to unlock and reward the enormous creative work coming out of Africa.
Nice! Very Interesting Artist. How was this artist able to change his style so often without any issues in his career? I see a lot of exploration but a lot of inconsistencies in his style. Is it truly a rule for artist to say consistent with a certain style or is this based on the clout or status an artist already has gain in the art world ?
Hi Drew, great question. In fact, in am preparing an article and video in the foreseeable future about this topic in which Richter is one of the main examples. So stay tuned! Visually, his work has been very versatile indeed, but it was all the result of consistent vision and search in painting. More to come soon. Thank you for tuning in!
Great idea! We have recently published a video on Polke's "Durer Rabbit", however a more comprehensive video on Polke would be a great idea for sure. Thank you for tuning in and for the suggestion!
Yes, great question. In the art world, artist who experiment too much are often written of by collectors and critics. Most often, the artist needs to have one specific style or trait, recognizable, and above all consistent. With Richter, we encounter a very strong variety, which no other artist has been able to pull off at the highest level. And doing so it was his strength, as he reached other people, different tastes, countries, due to the immense variety.
@@contemporaryartissue , one thing I have learned from Richter is to embrace my own desire to create a variety of imagery. I'm not at the Quality level that he is at, but I've made some really good work and been blessed to put it in quite a few homes the world over. Variety is the spice of life
Thank you for the great video, loved to see all these clips and the evolutipn of his painting overtime. However, i have obe critique: in these video and many others, the narrativea always ends up being one of a "success story" , how painting brought a kid from Dresda to the top of the artworld. I find it a bit silly in this case. I feel like this kind of narrative completely misses the point of art art and the meaning of richter's path and research. So it is for many other artists.
I would love to see some of the artists involved with the Nouveau Realisme movement featured. Specifically I would love to see Arman (Armand Fernandez) and Jacques Villeglé featured.
I really like Richter's paintings. What I don't like is using wrong maps in the video ! Finland was never part of USSR as rudely suggested on the map in this video. Newsflash: Finland had its borders (unlike on the map shown here) + it was never part of the Eastern bloc of communist countries during the cold war. Instead it tried to stay as neutral as possible after fighting for keeping its independence. Would be nice to have seen a more truthful map in this otherwise nice video.
@@marcionphilologos5367 I don't feel these two quotes support your statement fully, so I must disagree. Caravaggio used a camera obscura for his most iconic pieces. Isn't he a true artist?
@@contemporaryartissue The realist artist is a true artist in the subjective composition of realist figures. Yet, the use of the CAMERA OBSCURA and the extensive work on the details are irrelevant.
I think once we start trying to define what art is in words, we just put a fence around our own appreciation of art. When our ancestors painted on the walls of caves with sticks (or whatever tools they used) and pigments they were already using technology to produce images. Richter doesn't use photography as a means of producing a realistic image. The photograph itself is the subject matter. I don't believe any of his contemporaries have explored this in such an interesting way.
It’s such a shame these great videos don’t get more attention
Thank you so much for your most kind words, much appreciated! All my best, JD
Brilliant video, so informative and interesting.
Awesome revelation...I am excited and honored to share a birthday with this amazing man. Fascinating bio video.Thanks.
That's great! The pleasure is all mine; thank you for tuning in
I’ve seen his work in museums, it resonated with me for sure. I never got such an in-depth view into his life and career. Thanks for this!
The pleasure is ours! Thank you for tuning in
This man walks on water. His photographic images are as beautiful as his abstractions. Adore!!!!!
Exactly! Hence one of the greatest artists ever. Thank you for tuning in!
How are you doing today
I saw his work in 2002 at Moma, was filled with some sort of energy, I was amazed...
That's great to hear! I saw them at Tate for the first time and recall vividly experiencing a similar energy. Mesmerizing. Thank you for tuning in!
@@contemporaryartissue Edvard Munch was also exhibited that time, two amazing artists :-)
@@surrealist1976 What a combo!
His John Cage pieces in Tate made me cried, cathartic even.
A big thank you for this great video about Gerhard Richter. He is a genious, I admire him.
Hi Konstantinos, how are you? Thank you so much for tuning in! He's a true genius indeed

Thank you so much for watching!
I agree with Jerry Saltz: Richter is vastly overrated.
🎵 You gotta have
a gimmick 🎵
Agreeing with Saltz doesn't make much of a case for your opinion.
Your statement makes me think less of Jerry Saltz. How disappointing.
ABSTRACT OR REALISTIC ART EXECUTED IN A TECHNOLOGICAL WAY IS NOT TRUE ART.
Do you mean using photographs as reference?
BAUMGARTNER 1720; ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF THE FUNCTIONAL IN THE NON-FUNCTIONAL. ADORNO 1960; ART IS THE NON-IDENTICAL WITHIN THE IDENTICAL.
@@marcionphilologos5367 I don't feel these two quotes support your statement fully, so I must disagree. Caravaggio used a camera obscura for his most iconic pieces. Isn't he a true artist?

Art. That muddy, chaotic daubing is art. Oh, well, that explains many things of contemporary society.
Boring.
I agree with Jerry Saltz: Richter is vastly overrated.
I believe Saltz is vastly overrated, especially after reading his so-called "Richter Resolution". Anyhow, thank you for tuning in!
Who isn't overrated?
Never heard of Saltz.
Definitely heard of Richter.
Everyone has an opinion 😉
