I used to be an anti- abstract snob. Then I tried painting abstractly and straight from spontaneity, and it was amazing! I've never felt freer in my life. Technically brilliant painters are great to me, I appreciate the skill and techniques immensely. But the power of painting stream of consciousness and from your soul cannot be matched, from my personal experience
Sure, but then what makes their stuff worth millions and not yours? If there was some appreciable difference in technique, one could perhaps say so, but if not, then why not?
@Glen Housel See, this is the weakness of abstract traditions. The fact that you have to rely on an artist's "reputation" which they have built up in NON-abstract fields to determine whether this stuff is actually any good is an extremely tenuous position to be taking, because (a) an artist being great at one area is not necessarily great at another, so you may be overinflating how good they are at it while ignoring someone else who is better at it but didn't happen to be good at non-abstract art, and (b) it doesn't leave you with a lot of solid criteria to use for other works. Look at this piece of garbage: d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.net/?resize_to=width&src=https%3A%2F%2Fartsy-media-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2F9nccE03Ynr-gjDLl9RD13w%252FHauser%2B%2526%2BWirth%2B%25281%2529.jpg&width=1200&quality=80 Oh wow, that's just worth millions right there and not something you couldn't teach even a half-retarded person to do, right? On the other hand, five minutes of training isn't going to get you to be able to paint like Michelangelo. This only seems to be lost on art snobs.
Maestro_T it seems like you don’t properly understand the history of painting of the past 150 years and why people started painting abstractly. The “merit” of a painting as you put it cannot be found in skill alone but in the way it communicates something INTANGIBLE to the viewer. By the time the Academies of Europe were putting out there literally thousands of super well trained and skillful artists according to the classical tradition there developed this homogenous look and feel to the “acceptable” artwork of the major salon shows. There were artists who were either not interested is such a scene or did not have the ability to complete the rigorous training and they started painting differently. Impressionist Expressionist then Cubism and we are there on the doorstep of abstraction. Representational needs a subject outside of the artwork itself, whenevery subject has been mastered and done a millions times over and art form begins to die o f irrelevance. Research Wassily Kandinsky s writings on abstraction. The abstract expressionists of the 20th century in NYC were all honest intelligent artists that wanted to bring painting to the next point and keep it relevant.
It isn’t about the technique, it’s about getting the image he’s seeking with it. The trick is knowing when to stop, that’s where the “Artist’s Eye” comes in. Harder than you think, since you don’t always know what that is, you just feel it on a aesthetic & intuitive level. The amazing thing is you never know what you will end up with, there are infinite possibilities. Try it yourself, it doesn’t require that much, just a surface, paint, something to scrape with & the desire to explore. You don’t have to create a masterpiece, just have fun! You may amaze your self.

I found this to be an interesting video, showing how he generates these paintings. I saw his retrospective in Berlin 7-8 years ago, and found this series to be quite beautiful- it’s too bad the video didn’t show the surfaces up close, as the deep layering and color combinations can be quite mesmerizing. He did a group of these that were smaller, and they really were remarkably jewel like. For the viewers unfamiliar with Richter’s full body of work, look him up- These abstract paintings represent only a percentage of what he has done- he has toggled between realism and abstraction throughout his long and distinguished career.

it looks so crap! Where is the skill? hes just putting random splashes of paint everywhere and then he gets rid of it with some whiteboard eraser thing. It was kinda cool how a colour would reveal itself from underneath but still anyone can probably do that! It's like those things they gave you in preschool where you paint a bunch of colours onto a piece of paper than put some black card over it and scratch at the black card to reveal the colours. I do not get it.
@@recorderboi1I can assure you to do this right it´s not easy, it´s a lot harder than you think. I know because it took me two years of work to get a good piece of art based on the work on Ritcher. It seems you really don´t understand art, and it´s ok if you don´t like it or don´t see meaning. But at least, try to understand why other do enjoy it. I left you another answer on your comment in my post, maybe that will help you, maybe it won´t. Take care.
It's interesting to see how physical Richter is approaching the canvas. But not in a way like Jackson Pollock. Was Pollock indeed an action painting person, Richter is a painter who is almost in a zen-like state when painting. Contemplating his moves.
If anyone is interested, a good piece of art is one where the concept is echoed within the process of production/creation. When the idea fractally permeates every element of the piece.
Stunning. I know almost nothing about abstract art, but I do know that I really like this. You could stare at it for hours and keep seeing something different.
To start we need to understand the current world we live in at this present time with that keeping in mind what's been happening with art since the 20 th century, With that been said i think it's time for me to go for a walk and try to forget what i watched.
I have this dvd. He is so generous to share, and the documentarian is so great that at one point he forgets she is there and becomes engrossed in his painting.
Richter IS a genius and to appreciate you might want to look at the scope of his work, including these "scrapings", super-realist painting, impressionist painting and so on. Beautiful mastery in a range of styles. And then, take the chance to see some of this style in person. We're lucky to have several of them in the permanent collection of the Art Institute here in Chicago. I always take a few minutes to enjoy them when I go there.
whaaaaaat? Richter genius? whaaat come on, please! no no he has a promotion from his marchant and that´s all. His paintings is for decoration homes, a lot of people who buy his pieces like for that reason. In comercial for decoration you can buy pieces mor original than Richter. Pelase no genius only speculation. see ya.
That is crap for people who believe what the NWO try to, creating people with no sense of good and bad, esto es como la historia del 'traje nuevo del emperador'.
I would like to see those who said this in not art doing something as good as Ritcher, not for nothing is one of the most famous and expensive artists. As one says, all artist use tools but he was intelligent enough to use them as he use them. And it doesn't matter if is an "accident" because is the artist who decide what to use or what to cover, so its him who really makes the work. If its so easy why there aren't more works as good as this? Envy is a human feeling as well as ignorance, its a
explain to me how it is good, please. How is this good? How is anyone who isn't some devout follower of divine "abstract" art supposed to enjoy this in any capacity?
@@recorderboi1 You don´t need to be a follower of abstract art to enjoy it, you just have to feel the colors, the movement, and you might or not like it. But if you know about Gerhard Ritcher work of art, you would start to understand why he does what he does. If you really want to understand, search for his first works, the ones with the nazi photographs and you will start to understand better his work. I know many people who aren´t in love with abstract art that can enjoy it. Sometimes, some people ask me how to understand it. You don´t have to understand it to enjoy it. Think about any work of art you have seen. For example, a work of art of a painted woman. It looks beautiful. But think it over, it´s NOT a woman, it´s painting over a canvas, it´s your brain who makes it a woman, it gives it meaning. The same happens with abstract art (that it´s not really abstract in the real sense of the word, but not representational. And you can see whatever you want, movement, nature, animals, anything you like, you can imagine a puddle for example and the painting are it´s reflections. Just stop thinking and enjoy the colors and texture and everything else you see. I believe you are overthinking this, that´s why you can´t find enjoyment in it.
@@recorderboi1 Learn about it, specially from modern art (beginning of XX century) and beyond, and start to see how abstract art begun. For example, impressionism it´s a form of abstract art that shows you how color is more important than what you actually see. Check videos in TH-cam that talk about modern art , learn about artist like Pollock for example that was a wonderful artist. The problem with art right now is that it has got very confusing, and many people do bad art and support it with a lot of text. I won´t tell you to check Duchamp, that would only confuse you more, just stick to painting for the time being and not the last parts of it but until the 2000 I believe and maybe not that close, as I said, things have gotten weird lately. But if you check art from beginning of the XX century until I believe, the seventies, you will learn a lot. And if you really want to learn more, check the book called: What Are You Looking At? by Will Gompertz, that´s a good start. Good luck!
Magician he is, I watch this video as a ritual, before I start painting, to break free from the almost incurable urge to send my work to predictable perfection and to avoid creating something without inspiration, without believe in the divine side of creativity.
I am an Artist and Tutor and I have been teaching art to adult students for over 25 years. I teach both privately and for The Adult Community College and a few times a year I give Art shows to local Arty groups. I am based in North Essex, although my roots are very much in Granada, in the south of Spain, where I grew up. I am primarily a self-taught artist, although I did two years at St Martins Art College, London. I am passionate about my art and teaching and love the use and play of light in my work of art and natural subject, capturing the essence of the scene in any medium I feel conveys this better, as I love it work on most mediums. I also like to experiment and learn from other new artist skills as I think one never fails to learn when it comes to methods and techniques of art. I have recently been pushing my own limits on acrylics with fellow artist Gabino Amaya Cacho and my greatest inspiration. Pinto because I love to paint, my greatest pleasure is to see others enjoy my teaching style and my own work of art.

@@pattywickson9046 please post a video of that process.. and, lets see the result. You make me wonder whether you have any clue about his work as a whole? His photo citations in the 50s were already fabulous. He has been in steady change and still is on it today. You make it look as if he cannot paint realistic, which is far behind him. If you ever had the chance to see any of his works live you maybe understand it is planned, accidental and intuitive. A master of colour composition combined with structure and movement, quaint density and deepness. And by the way: I checked you up. Greetings from Germany
ashley devine haha the beauty of being an artist is that you produce work because your body, mind, heart, and spirit will not be satisfied unless you create. You will not sleep peacefully, you will not be able to breathe happily, or live freely unless you do what you know you must do. You don’t do it for other people to consume it and you don’t do it for the taste of other people. You may be a good painter, drawer, craftsman, but you don’t have the spirit of a creative, of an artist.
Wow so you guys probably will like this picture to!!!!!???? 💩 I won't be surprised if you do like this!!??? Because you like this guys 💩. Greetings from Pratt Institute
The wonderful thing is that with a rather simple algorithm and proper machine controls, a computer could paint these en-mass on automated machines. Think of it. No more angry, mentally disturbed, depressed people making art. The machines could do it and it could be reproduced cheaply enough that everyone could afford a copy.
Simplicity is key in art and it takes years to achieve it...as a artist myself I think *what’s the simplest way to make a masterpiece all while being unique? the day that happens is when ur on to something.
I went to Richter's exhibition in Boston what seems to be a life time ago. He can capture an image with more realism than a camera can! I don't have the knowhow to judge modern art as it's not something I'm drawn to (no pun intended)(wait, if it's not intended I could delete it; this isn't a face to face chat). anyway I believe picasso could do the same and I liked his modern art. to each their own I guess!
Thanks a lot to Nowness for posting this video! It made me realized that Richter is in the same great league as Jackson Pollock. Stunning how a great artist who has the conceptual vision and ''the eye skill'' can create such great works of art with such a simple technique!
Art is MAINLY an I D E A! If some artist has one (fresh & original)- it's usually a SUCCESS! (thinking, it's "so easy, my child would smear like that" is thoughtlessly STUPID).
An idea of what ?Throwing colors on top of each other?Abstract painters hardly have anything to say.Except when they are making excuses for their art or inventing fancy explanations and mysterious names.
Actually your child can smear like this. Everybody can. But the IMPORTANT question is: Can you be consistent? Can you work on a body of art, that is undeniably communicating to the one that looks at it?
Art in general doesn't need to have a meaning. It just needs to be beautiful in some way. Whether this meets that criteria is up to the beholder I reckon.
@@gregorysgarrison look at the size of the ABSURD SHIT you just talked. So anything beautiful is art? Something ugly can't be art? Can any meaningless thing be art? So anything can be art?
@@gutemberg7946 uuuuuuuuuuuu.u Im so waiting for the replay to your question 🙏🙏🙏🙏... I have no idea about art but your question really really got my atention.. I hope someone with proper backgraunds can answer.. Sorry for the misspellings🙈🙈. I know
This will sound pretentious, but it’s simple: the video demonstrates a dialectical relationship between the artist vision and the material. They transform each other in a dynamic relationship that synthesizes all oppositions: stasis and motion, image and physicality, art and construction, artistic autonomy and its constraint by the material and reification. Art is the interstices of all these oppositions, synthesizing them. Richter’s brilliant sense of color and form, his experience and intuition make anything he does in these moments brilliant. Because whatever change results at any moment, he knows and senses exactly how to respond and steer the painting, which responds back in turn in a kind of dialogue, circling around. He’s in utter bliss to be in such a “conversation” with his material, and the final work is like a record of the relationship over time, two friends transforming each other, with all the moods and emotions and challenges (support, resistance, antagonism…. The whole range) of s real relationship, a real friendship, captured in color.
Nicholas Fanzo He is not a master of realism. He made some quite wonderful paintings mostly in monochromatic black and white when he was younger working from photographs. That does not make him a master of realism. And even if he was what does that have to do with this “roller” nonsense he does now? Being a master of realism does not make someone a great artist either.
Superb insight into the working methods of a great artist. You have to actually experience his work to really appreciate it. We (artists) work in mysterious ways.
abstract may look simple and effort less, but I think it's a vision and experience which may look pointless in this pragmaticly dominant world . It is an overall summary of things, that don't exist or have structural form. It is not simple as the splash of colour here and there. It is much complex and phycological thing. Humans in 21century are not fully developed to understand this things, it is still and will be a great question for all of us for many years to come!
That's a good question to ask actually. I suppose one could start by saying "where is the art in any art?". It's a difficult thing to answer or explain. Extremely difficult to define too. I think on a very simple level you could say that Richter's work is distinctive. As with all great artists, he has perfected a visual language. Someone could say that the "art" in the work is his process of selection. His technique too. Just like any painter - deciding when and where to affect the canvas and how to complement that. Finding coherence in what is before the artist. I know the video just makes it look like he is simply making marks. But - like with any artist - there is a dialogue going on there between himself and the work. I imagine Richter would not say it is just playing around. It's serious. There are back and forth things that occur for him in making the work that ALSO inform the work. I hope that makes sense there. Perhaps a part of his approach is making "pretty pictures" and I don't think there is anything wrong in that. In making something (abstract in this case) that is visually pleasing.
There is also the evolution of the artist that needs to be understood. This is an accumulation of time and space. Richter"s work has evolved to a bigger range of canvases designed for spaces like museums, galleries where they could hang for some time. The technique is unique, a treat, to retreat into the recesses of the mind, aspiring to reach the universe. The connection with the mind and universe. Kadinsky was different.
No puedo entender el arte abstracto, técnica por demás simplista, y según vi sus inicios, Richter si sabe dibujar y pintar, y ahora me pregunto ¿Qué es esto?
He has been painting since the early 60's with different styles . A paintings worth is based upon a number of variables not necessarily the value of the painting itself but how much bidders want it . Once a painter establishes his brand and collectors pick up on it ,they set the price at auction . Its provenance , style and uniqueness all play into it . These artist are creating their own form of currency that people buy into ....I remember seeing a Rothko painting going for over a hundred million which was basically 3 patches of different color , it had been owned by the Rockefellers which increased its value .
Art is not about setting out with the intent on painting a masterpiece. Rather its the process of putting marks on a surface for a purpose and a reason. Controlling the outcome of the piece to evoke an emotion or to manipulate the viewer in some way.
@@jeffreyolson2139 great observation. It took me almost no time to come to my conclusion. It might be hard for you to grasp given the minimum of 5 standard deviation difference in our IQ, but yea, my amazing brain is that much more advanced than those of pseudo intellectuals like you :)
@@jeffreyolson2139 don't get salty, you are the one calling this guy "versatile" and "talented" and "not a one trick poney" after seeing this dumbass video hahaha
@@pogoboxy not quite, they're the great artists of old chiefly because they're dead. Many of them could possibly appreciate the colour composition and paint application skills of Richter - despite what lay observers might think of these abstract works, the technique is not that disconnected at all from those of the 'old'. Richter is almost a 'classicist' here when compared with the post-Duchampian trends in art.
Gerhard Richter is an exceptionnal artist. In three different museums I was astonished by his work, without knowing the artist, and it was only in the third museum that I realised that it was the same artist that had struck me already twice before. From 1998 on, the prices for his paintings has been climbing (till 40.000.000 euro in 2015...), with reason. I prefer his earlier work to his later scraping-art. Nevertheless, also in this later work of Richter I find the qualities of a good piece of art, namely: I always want to feel the feelings and the meenings that are in the work. So, I also like very much the work of Mark Rothko, Ellsworth Kelly and Amédée Cortier. So beautifull, so powerful and with such a nice spirituality.
All artists use tools. Who plans the colors? Who decides where to put the lines? I had a friend who constantly put down abstract art and said anyone could do it. I finally sat her down with a tub of acrylics and a sheet of watercolor paper. She ended up making a great mixture of mud. She wouldn't admit that there was a difference between her painting and mine, but she also hasn't had anything to say since.
Es que la mierda que hace no puede ser difícil. No tiene mérito alguno. El único mérito que le veo es que pueda colgarle su basura a los cuatro burros que van de intelectuales y que interiormente piensan que es una cagada, pero callan para parecer que entienden algo más que la gente íntegra.
@@floreszel Yes, art is a matter of personal taste. On a commercial level other factors are in play. Judging an artist's work by one or two examples is iffy at best. The progress over an entire career is a more salient factor in judging works of art. I have a personal art collection of 90 or so pieces of original art. 30-40 are abstract/modern. I also have a fine arts background educationally. I like to think that I have a more foundationally substantial opinion of art beyond what I like. What I DO like is GOOD art. The two examples in this video are, in my opinion, artistically weak and visually uninteresting. Seeing a dozen might change my opinion somewhat, but as far as I can tell, these two are duds. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
What many of the people commenting don't seem to realize is that Richter has made paintings so true to life they are known as photorealism or hyper realism, which requires an awesome amount of artistic talent. However, when artwork becomes such an accurate depiction of reality you can no longer get a sense of the artist's style and character does it diminish the end result? Can an artist be too good? At least when he is doing this, it is coming completely from inside him. Is observing or admiring art better than experiencing or feeling art?
Its interesting how Richter wears formal clothes while painting. He definitely isn't worried about his wardrobe. Of course, I think with this deliberate slow techniques its likely easier to keep the paint off your clothes more. I got the video at home, very strange music to create the atmosphere in the painting. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure he gets paint on his pants and shirts, and even shoes sometimes. He just dresses the way he likes and is comfortable. When you are a millionaire many times over, you can afford some extra clothing... He is absolutely one of my favorite living artists. I really liked his friend Sigmar Polke too.
I struggled all my life to make a living painting houses. I got a big job and the lady wanted it done special and quickly. I spent all my money for the supplies and rushed to the job. I took a turn too fast and all the paint fell out of the truck onto the street. I was on the side of the road sitting on the curb with my head in my hands. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was a curator from the Guggenheim. The rest is history.
If all art was realistic, we'd take it all for granted. And worst of all, art would be dead. Keep an open mind to creativity and different ideas. Don't be ignorant. Don't be close-minded.
I don't know... I bet if you gave it a good solid year and worked at it every day for a few hours - by the end of that year you would have something you could have strong on the market - if that is your intention and if you put the time and research into it - i bet your wish could become something real.
I agree with t the beauty of these paintings occurs when the light hits the many changing surfaces watch the artist ,,,he often stops moving and search's for glistening areas,, artists should always have final judgement concerning the overall appearance of their work before it is released to the public,,,,,,the camera was too far away and I don't see any windows, Thank you, kisses
Now, don't misunderstand what I'm about to say, I am an abstract/contemporary artist myself, I'm not hating on abstract art or anything, simply curious. Why is he considered a master artist?
«Burro grande ande o no ande» «big donkey walking or not» is a Spanish saying that means people mostly like big things that seems more important no matter if they really work.

@@recorderboi1I can assure you to do this right it´s not easy, it´s a lot harder than you think. I know because it took me two years of work to get a good piece of art based on the work on Ritcher. It seems you really don´t understand art, and it´s ok if you don´t like it or don´t see meaning. But at least, try to understand why other do enjoy it. I left you another answer on your comment in my post, maybe that will help you, maybe it won´t. Take care.

It's interesting to see how physical Richter is approaching the canvas. But not in a way like Jackson Pollock. Was Pollock indeed an action painting person, Richter is a painter who is almost in a zen-like state when painting. Contemplating his moves.
Hello
Believe me, there was some serious contemplation in pollacks work, perhaps not every single one, but I'm sure the same could be said about Richter.
why are you talking about him like he's some alien?
If anyone is interested, a good piece of art is one where the concept is echoed within the process of production/creation. When the idea fractally permeates every element of the piece.
Oh shut up
It what? Fractally permeates? Excuse my French, but what the **** is that? Do you even know what you are saying, because Google hasn't any clue.
LOL! What a crock.
Stunning. I know almost nothing about abstract art, but I do know that I really like this. You could stare at it for hours and keep seeing something different.

why can't i have a work of Gerhard Richter ???
Why ? Why ? Why ?
To start we need to understand the current world we live in at this present time with that keeping in mind what's been happening with art since the 20 th century, With that been said i think it's time for me to go for a walk and try to forget what i watched.
Or you can buy a Leonardo Da vinci book and study the real beauty
Will it take that much effort? It seems pretty forgettable to me.
I have this dvd. He is so generous to share, and the documentarian is so great that at one point he forgets she is there and becomes engrossed in his painting.
i dont think someone gets so caught up in their own art that they forget another human being is in the same room as them.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not the object. A thing of beauty may not look beautiful to everybody.

Richter IS a genius and to appreciate you might want to look at the scope of his work, including these "scrapings", super-realist painting, impressionist painting and so on. Beautiful mastery in a range of styles. And then, take the chance to see some of this style in person. We're lucky to have several of them in the permanent collection of the Art Institute here in Chicago. I always take a few minutes to enjoy them when I go there.
Yeah, he should do paintings of log cabins, with smoke curling up from the chimney. Maybe some cows, or cute kittens, too. You know, REAL art.
Sorry to hear this..;))))))
Richter isn´t a genius a real actual genius of all genius is KijotIsma.
whaaaaaat? Richter genius? whaaat come on, please! no no he has a promotion from his marchant and that´s all. His paintings is for decoration homes, a lot of people who buy his pieces like for that reason. In comercial for decoration you can buy pieces mor original than Richter. Pelase no genius only speculation. see ya.
That is crap for people who believe what the NWO try to, creating people with no sense of good and bad, esto es como la historia del 'traje nuevo del emperador'.
I would like to see those who said this in not art doing something as good as Ritcher, not for nothing is one of the most famous and expensive artists. As one says, all artist use tools but he was intelligent enough to use them as he use them. And it doesn't matter if is an "accident" because is the artist who decide what to use or what to cover, so its him who really makes the work. If its so easy why there aren't more works as good as this? Envy is a human feeling as well as ignorance, its a
explain to me how it is good, please. How is this good? How is anyone who isn't some devout follower of divine "abstract" art supposed to enjoy this in any capacity?
@@recorderboi1 You don´t need to be a follower of abstract art to enjoy it, you just have to feel the colors, the movement, and you might or not like it. But if you know about Gerhard Ritcher work of art, you would start to understand why he does what he does. If you really want to understand, search for his first works, the ones with the nazi photographs and you will start to understand better his work. I know many people who aren´t in love with abstract art that can enjoy it. Sometimes, some people ask me how to understand it. You don´t have to understand it to enjoy it. Think about any work of art you have seen. For example, a work of art of a painted woman. It looks beautiful. But think it over, it´s NOT a woman, it´s painting over a canvas, it´s your brain who makes it a woman, it gives it meaning. The same happens with abstract art (that it´s not really abstract in the real sense of the word, but not representational. And you can see whatever you want, movement, nature, animals, anything you like, you can imagine a puddle for example and the painting are it´s reflections. Just stop thinking and enjoy the colors and texture and everything else you see. I believe you are overthinking this, that´s why you can´t find enjoyment in it.
@@foreropa what can i do that might help me to understand and appreciate art then?
@@recorderboi1 Learn about it, specially from modern art (beginning of XX century) and beyond, and start to see how abstract art begun. For example, impressionism it´s a form of abstract art that shows you how color is more important than what you actually see. Check videos in TH-cam that talk about modern art , learn about artist like Pollock for example that was a wonderful artist. The problem with art right now is that it has got very confusing, and many people do bad art and support it with a lot of text. I won´t tell you to check Duchamp, that would only confuse you more, just stick to painting for the time being and not the last parts of it but until the 2000 I believe and maybe not that close, as I said, things have gotten weird lately. But if you check art from beginning of the XX century until I believe, the seventies, you will learn a lot. And if you really want to learn more, check the book called: What Are You Looking At? by Will Gompertz, that´s a good start. Good luck!
Magician he is, I watch this video as a ritual, before I start painting, to break free from the almost incurable urge to send my work to predictable perfection and to avoid creating something without inspiration, without believe in the divine side of creativity.
I am an Artist and Tutor and I have been teaching art to adult students for over 25 years. I teach both privately and for The Adult Community College and a few times a year I give Art shows to local Arty groups. I am based in North Essex, although my roots are very much in Granada, in the south of Spain, where I grew up. I am primarily a self-taught artist, although I did two years at St Martins Art College, London. I am passionate about my art and teaching and love the use and play of light in my work of art and natural subject, capturing the essence of the scene in any medium I feel conveys this better, as I love it work on most mediums. I also like to experiment and learn from other new artist skills as I think one never fails to learn when it comes to methods and techniques of art. I have recently been pushing my own limits on acrylics with fellow artist Gabino Amaya Cacho and my greatest inspiration. Pinto because I love to paint, my greatest pleasure is to see others enjoy my teaching style and my own work of art.

@@pattywickson9046 please post a video of that process.. and, lets see the result. You make me wonder whether you have any clue about his work as a whole? His photo citations in the 50s were already fabulous. He has been in steady change and still is on it today. You make it look as if he cannot paint realistic, which is far behind him.

ashley devine haha the beauty of being an artist is that you produce work because your body, mind, heart, and spirit will not be satisfied unless you create. You will not sleep peacefully, you will not be able to breathe happily, or live freely unless you do what you know you must do. You don’t do it for other people to consume it and you don’t do it for the taste of other people. You may be a good painter, drawer, craftsman, but you don’t have the spirit of a creative, of an artist.

The wonderful thing is that with a rather simple algorithm and proper machine controls, a computer could paint these en-mass on automated machines. Think of it. No more angry, mentally disturbed, depressed people making art. The machines could do it and it could be reproduced cheaply enough that everyone could afford a copy.
sure and we do not have to do anything at all just to sit and look around the robots will do all ..how nice dude
I can break the boundries for abstract art only because I first learned how to Truly Paint.
Simplicity is key in art and it takes years to achieve it...as a artist myself I think *what’s the simplest way to make a masterpiece all while being unique? the day that happens is when ur on to something.
It's cool that this guy has a hobby. My 3yr old makes exact replicas, just much smaller.
It is made in the mind of Gerhard when it is seen and recognized
I went to Richter's exhibition in Boston what seems to be a life time ago. He can capture an image with more realism than a camera can! I don't have the knowhow to judge modern art as it's not something I'm drawn to (no pun intended)(wait, if it's not intended I could delete it; this isn't a face to face chat).
anyway I believe picasso could do the same and I liked his modern art. to each their own I guess!
Thanks a lot to Nowness for posting this video!
It made me realized that Richter is in the same great league as Jackson Pollock.
Stunning how a great artist who has the conceptual vision and ''the eye skill'' can create such great works of art with such a simple technique!
Looks like a garage door that’s been painted dozens of times over the years then left to delaminate by the elements

I like that look. I was so upset when they painted over an old electric box that had that look. It so a japaneesy thing.
Yeah true. He does create that over the year prolonged stuff in some hours..

Art is MAINLY an I D E A! If some artist has one (fresh & original)- it's usually a SUCCESS! (thinking, it's "so easy, my child would smear like that" is thoughtlessly STUPID).
Ewa Halik THANK YOU
i'd say the both the idea and the result/realization
- the artist needs to able to realize the idea.
An idea of what ?Throwing colors on top of each other?Abstract painters hardly have anything to say.Except when they are making excuses for their art or inventing fancy explanations and mysterious names.
Actually your child can smear like this. Everybody can. But the IMPORTANT question is: Can you be consistent? Can you work on a body of art, that is undeniably communicating to the one that looks at it?
it's not as easy as it looks
And that supposed to mean something we mortals don't understand?
Art in general doesn't need to have a meaning. It just needs to be beautiful in some way. Whether this meets that criteria is up to the beholder I reckon.

Comme sous une baquette magique, les formes apparaissent. Beaucoup d'artistes auraient voulu trouver un truc comme Richter. J'aime ce qui fait.
Moi aussi
This will sound pretentious, but it’s simple: the video demonstrates a dialectical relationship between the artist vision and the material. They transform each other in a dynamic relationship that synthesizes all oppositions: stasis and motion, image and physicality, art and construction, artistic autonomy and its constraint by the material and reification. Art is the interstices of all these oppositions, synthesizing them. Richter’s brilliant sense of color and form, his experience and intuition make anything he does in these moments brilliant. Because whatever change results at any moment, he knows and senses exactly how to respond and steer the painting, which responds back in turn in a kind of dialogue, circling around. He’s in utter bliss to be in such a “conversation” with his material, and the final work is like a record of the relationship over time, two friends transforming each other, with all the moods and emotions and challenges (support, resistance, antagonism…. The whole range) of s real relationship, a real friendship, captured in color.

In this case, a rather fine line.
To include this guy Richter on the same channel as Raphael and Vermeer is beyond insulting. I am surprised the Vermeer and Raphael videos even play.
John Coppola you realize this guy is a master at realism right?
Nicholas Fanzo He is not a master of realism. He made some quite wonderful paintings mostly in monochromatic black and white when he was younger working from photographs. That does not make him a master of realism. And even if he was what does that have to do with this “roller” nonsense he does now? Being a master of realism does not make someone a great artist either.
John Coppola you having a bad day John ?
John Coppola sounds like you’re just trying to project your opinion as a fact and failing. Also how is the roller nonsense? Also it’s not a roller.
Lisa Lovely LPA Not at all. How is your day?
Superb insight into the working methods of a great artist. You have to actually experience his work to really appreciate it. We (artists) work in mysterious ways.
It’s probably more the brain 🧠 that works in mysterious ways.
@@boogieboss you think the brain is separate to us?
abstract may look simple and effort less, but I think it's a vision and experience which may look pointless in this pragmaticly dominant world . It is an overall summary of things, that don't exist or have structural form. It is not simple as the splash of colour here and there. It is much complex and phycological thing. Humans in 21century are not fully developed to understand this things, it is still and will be a great question for all of us for many years to come!
I’m not an artist, but to those artists can you explain to me where’s the art in this? What’s the meaning of this work?
That's a good question to ask actually. I suppose one could start by saying "where is the art in any art?". It's a difficult thing to answer or explain. Extremely difficult to define too. I think on a very simple level you could say that Richter's work is distinctive. As with all great artists, he has perfected a visual language. Someone could say that the "art" in the work is his process of selection. His technique too. Just like any painter - deciding when and where to affect the canvas and how to complement that. Finding coherence in what is before the artist. I know the video just makes it look like he is simply making marks. But - like with any artist - there is a dialogue going on there between himself and the work. I imagine Richter would not say it is just playing around. It's serious. There are back and forth things that occur for him in making the work that ALSO inform the work. I hope that makes sense there. Perhaps a part of his approach is making "pretty pictures" and I don't think there is anything wrong in that. In making something (abstract in this case) that is visually pleasing.
There is also the evolution of the artist that needs to be understood. This is an accumulation of time and space. Richter"s work has evolved to a bigger range of canvases designed for spaces like museums, galleries where they could hang for some time. The technique is unique, a treat, to retreat into the recesses of the mind, aspiring to reach the universe. The connection with the mind and universe. Kadinsky was different.
He and his paintings are simply amazing.
Once you try it yourself, abstraction is the most chellenging way of painting, you can´t hide behind motifs or what not
challenging. not chellenge. i am drunk.
I'm having an extra thumb surgically attached so I may give my hero, Gerhard Richter, Three thumbs up........his process is simply too cool.....
No puedo entender el arte abstracto, técnica por demás simplista, y según vi sus inicios, Richter si sabe dibujar y pintar, y ahora me pregunto ¿Qué es esto?
@Philip Gomez "__"
would like what the image in his head is..or was..before he started..
someone knows the name of this kind of painting?
It's usually referred to as squeegee or scrape painting
"Entartete Kunst"
He has been painting since the early 60's with different styles . A paintings worth is based upon a number of variables not necessarily the value of the painting itself but how much bidders want it . Once a painter establishes his brand and collectors pick up on it ,they set the price at auction . Its provenance , style and uniqueness all play into it . These artist are creating their own form of currency that people buy into ....I remember seeing a Rothko painting going for over a hundred million which was basically 3 patches of different color , it had been owned by the Rockefellers which increased its value .
Art is not about setting out with the intent on painting a masterpiece. Rather its the process of putting marks on a surface for a purpose and a reason. Controlling the outcome of the piece to evoke an emotion or to manipulate the viewer in some way.
I think the music fits well with the painting quite exciting! Thank you for the inspiration!💕👌

@@pogoboxy not quite, they're the great artists of old chiefly because they're dead.
Many of them could possibly appreciate the colour composition and paint application skills of Richter - despite what lay observers might think of these abstract works, the technique is not that disconnected at all from those of the 'old'. Richter is almost a 'classicist' here when compared with the post-Duchampian trends in art.

Gerhard Richter is an exceptionnal artist. In three different museums I was astonished by his work, without knowing the artist, and it was only in the third museum that I realised that it was the same artist that had struck me already twice before. From 1998 on, the prices for his paintings has been climbing (till 40.000.000 euro in 2015...), with reason. I prefer his earlier work to his later scraping-art. Nevertheless, also in this later work of Richter I find the qualities of a good piece of art, namely: I always want to feel the feelings and the meenings that are in the work. So, I also like very much the work of Mark Rothko, Ellsworth Kelly and Amédée Cortier. So beautifull, so powerful and with such a nice spirituality.
I really wonder what is art and what is an artist.
I know
typical leftwinged pretentious moron. Good job at being mediocre.
Rothko would lough about that scrape wall painter..:))
You were "astonished" because you thought you should be astonished. Same as people who see a Tarantino film and think they should say its great.
There are several trends that are important to contemporary art collectors today, the most important of which is COMPMATURISM

Ok
So true!
All artists use tools. Who plans the colors? Who decides where to put the lines? I had a friend who constantly put down abstract art and said anyone could do it. I finally sat her down with a tub of acrylics and a sheet of watercolor paper. She ended up making a great mixture of mud. She wouldn't admit that there was a difference between her painting and mine, but she also hasn't had anything to say since.

@@oltedders I guess that's a matter of taste. Also I am sure these painting have a different effect on you when you see them in real life.
@@floreszel
Yes, art is a matter of personal taste. On a commercial level other factors are in play. Judging an artist's work by one or two examples is iffy at best. The progress over an entire career is a more salient factor in judging works of art.
I have a personal art collection of 90 or so pieces of original art. 30-40 are abstract/modern. I also have a fine arts background educationally. I like to think that I have a more foundationally substantial opinion of art beyond what I like. What I DO like is GOOD art. The two examples in this video are, in my opinion, artistically weak and visually uninteresting. Seeing a dozen might change my opinion somewhat, but as far as I can tell, these two are duds.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Does anyone know if Richter applied any varnish on his work, matte, glossy?
Stray Portal probably glosses it afterwards I imagine or pays someone else to do it
And that pays the bills??

Believe me, with this comment, you are at the right job
Ignorance is bliss! Right.
just try to do the same. or even close:))
What many of the people commenting don't seem to realize is that Richter has made paintings so true to life they are known as photorealism or hyper realism, which requires an awesome amount of artistic talent. However, when artwork becomes such an accurate depiction of reality you can no longer get a sense of the artist's style and character does it diminish the end result? Can an artist be too good? At least when he is doing this, it is coming completely from inside him. Is observing or admiring art better than experiencing or feeling art?

He designed and made them for this specific series of work-
Oh you ruined it by overworking it - I liked it half way through
He does that frequently, apparently.
Yeah all artists struggle with that, I am getting better at trusting initial processes more :D
I liked it at the beginning: blank.
It’s subjective dude
So this is what painting is all about !
I've seen Richter's paintings in Ars95 -exhibition in Ateneum. He was one of my favourite abstract painter already earlier that :D
So? Does that make it good if you liked it? Maybe there should be a referendum about it.
Its interesting how Richter wears formal clothes while painting. He definitely isn't worried about his wardrobe. Of course, I think with this deliberate slow techniques its likely easier to keep the paint off your clothes more. I got the video at home, very strange music to create the atmosphere in the painting. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure he gets paint on his pants and shirts, and even shoes sometimes. He just dresses the way he likes and is comfortable. When you are a millionaire many times over, you can afford some extra clothing... He is absolutely one of my favorite living artists. I really liked his friend Sigmar Polke too.
I struggled all my life to make a living painting houses. I got a big job and the lady wanted it done special and quickly. I spent all my money for the supplies and rushed to the job. I took a turn too fast and all the paint fell out of the truck onto the street. I was on the side of the road sitting on the curb with my head in my hands. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was a curator from the Guggenheim. The rest is history.
Good one, lol.
Also, what he's doing is not "paintning" but money loundring...this is how they do that.

If all art was realistic, we'd take it all for granted. And worst of all, art would be dead. Keep an open mind to creativity and different ideas. Don't be ignorant. Don't be close-minded.

@Fvkc-R-E_2_d_9th-PWR hehehe! ... the only thing you have is a moronic handle and shit for brains. ...now fuck off, don't contact me again with your bullshit stories....get a life!
WOW! So many negative comments about this great artist. Reflect on what you’ve done with your life, see what he has done with his, and then come back. If you’ve done great things and you’re making a boat load of money, then let the trash talk continue. But, if you’re on the fast track to nowhere, stop criticizing others and go make something of yourself.
Does that mean I'm not allowed to say "I don't like it, because (insert my reason)" because I'm just a student? And not a millionaire.
That is more or less what i do when restoring old shitty walls.but i do like his things sometimes
It' s not a painting,and all those are not art. It's a s piece of decorative work. Looks nice and interesting. There are hundreds of thousands alike all over the globe.
If I did this to a wall I'd get a good hiding
I would like to understand his art or even just get an idea what it is all about...can anyone explain?
LelaAndHer5Giants all about sucks , stupid ugly like painting
Its a scam!..pure ugly shit in the name of art!
Hallo Lela, ich hoffe, mein Kommentar klang nicht wie eine Verletzung der Privatsphäre. Ihr Kommentar erzählt von einer wundervollen Frau mit einem wunderschönen Herzen, was mich dazu veranlasst hat, den Kommentar zu schreiben, den ich normalerweise nicht in den Kommentarbereich schreibe, aber ich denke, Sie haben dieses Kompliment verdient. Wenn es Ihnen nichts ausmacht, können wir dann Freunde sein? Gott sei Dank segne dich...
