Synopsis
Gerhard Richter (*1932) is an exceptional personality – not because his pictures are world famous, but because he has demonstrated a new approach to painting. His art masterfully moves between abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial – ambiv alent attitudes which he demonstrated even in his early work. Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact p icture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible. This applies in particular to his door, curtain and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central foc us of this volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals. This lavishly appointed volume is published to mark the artist’s 85th birthday.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesenes, vollständiges Exemplar; in sehr gutem Zustand, leichte Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -Gerhard Richter (\*1932) ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung - nicht weil seine Bilder weltbekannt sind, sondern weil er der Malerei neue Wege gewiesen hat. Seine Kunst bewegt sich souverän zwischen Abstraktion und Gegenständlichkeit, Sinnlichkeit und Verweigerung - Ambivalenzen, die sich schon im Frühwerk des Künstlers zeigen. Gerhard Richters Werk überwindet die Trennung von abstrakter und gegenständlicher Kunst. Weder kultivieren seine Bilder ein selbstgenügsames Spiel von Farben und Formen noch liefern sie ein ungebrochenes Bild der Wirklichkeit. Als Malerskeptiker befragt Richter den Realitätscharakter seiner Kunst selbst dann, wenn vordergründig Greifbares Thema seiner Gemälde ist. Im Besonderen gilt das für seine Tür-, Vorhang- und Fensterbilder der 1960er-Jahre, die im Zentrum des Bandes stehen. Sie inszenieren ein Spiel mit der Scheinhaftigkeit von Kunst, das immer die Frage stellt, was Malerei zeigt oder verbirgt. In diesem hochwertig ausgestatteten Band treffen Sie auf zentrale Arbeiten der letzten 15 Jahre (Text engl.). 128 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 7210251
