- Gerhard Richter is among Germany's most celebrated contemporary artists. Richter usually shuns the media spotlight, but Gerhard Richter granted filmmaker Corinna Belz access to his studio and allowed her to film him at work. The resulting documentary provides a unique insight into Gerhard Richter's creative process.

Brilliant, he stands for peace! And his art is absolutely amazing!
Never heard of Richter until I took a class on Philosophy and The Arts. Our professor screened this film and I am now a fan of his work. Amazing.
I wish Netflix would put this documentary back up
Gerhard Richters' art is so far above other artists today, thay many commenters here are obviously lost for any proper understanding of what he is doing. He has exhibited so many varied styles from realistic and technical, to surreal and abstract. Many who will come here to watch this film only seeing his most recent works, should look deeper into his past and how much he has researched and progressed over a half century, or longer.
For those that are negative about Richter, I'd like to ask you, will you show us your art, or have you ever made oil paintings yet? How many commenters here have ever painted yet? ...and your age? Please share that with us, if you can.
My work has been published in astronomy technical art sites, yet some of mine is also abstract and surreal. I've been an artist since childhood, and yet my large hand sketched pastels did not first appear in NASA websites until I was 52 years of age in 2006, which I've also spoken of on NPR's Talk of the nation. I have infrequently dabbled more recently in my art, but I spend much more time with photography, and the public, while I provide sidewalk astronomy and teaching.
What a wonderful comment shutting down the ignorants
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
Gerhard Richter is very talented Artist , I love huge paintings
This artist's life's work, small and large, is positively remarkable, usually quietly poetic and always a real gift to us. I expect history will show this.
I, for one, have preferred GR would have made far fewer of his large scrape paintings. Marvelous as they are, collectively they tend to appear manufactured. But then he'd agree.
This full film is on Kanopy. It’s well worth watching if you’re a fan of his art.
Absolutely the best contemporary painter out there currently! All the wannabe's need to take a moment and smell the coffee before proceeding with any comments that disparage this great artist. Vielen Dank Herr Richter . Sie können jederzeit in meiner Galerie hier in Laguna Beach , Kalifornien aufweisen
Beautiful work, a technique very much his own one of my favs!!!!!!!
Art is what the artist makes!
Just like frt.
Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler, selbst GR.
😁😁😁
Wonderful and very creative, love it!
Brilliant and fasinating
Nice technique to give antique effect for wall decoration. He looks like a house painter too.
Thank you for sharing . . . informative, insightful, wonderful !!
Imaging realities!!!
1:20 is one of my favorite pictures by him.
The first sentence is incorrect. He uses a squeegee to move the paint, which is something he most likely saw Jack Whitten using in 1970 when Richter was in New York. However, Richter may have "invented" his own version but it is essentially the same as Whitten was doing previously.
I love Richter because he says he is no artist. Well, he did not say this in the camera. He said it and therefore it does not count! Richter is a dynamic mirrow. I love his works, but I do not understand why people pay so much for his work. I am sure he will find a way to guide his latest works in the right direction... I am sure ...
He's right when he says he is no artist.
These translated comments sounds as though we are watching Japanese Anime. "What is the artistic process you use?" she asks, " Oh, it is not for mortals to see the bananas peeled!!!"
Great!
Anybody knows what kind/brand of paint he uses? Looks like regular oil wall paint isn't it?
nice concept
There's no chance. Everything happens while the mind comes in; usually a split micro second after the experience; and takes credit for it. It is quite right then to say that tools do it, including ourselves being the tool to that which is doing. Beauty lies in not getting in the way of doing ;) Peace and presence.
Thumbs up!
belo, a arte de Gerhard é magnifca.
I want to see those originals
Nel suo eclettismo risiede il fondamento della sua opera, cieli compresi. Bon courage monsieur RICHTER, et encore beaucoup d'inventions!
Yes, more of a production than art. Like Damien Hurst stuff. Let's see these dudes create cool stuff on a 24 by 36 canvas like the rest of us artists can afford.
Hahahahahahha you may b surprised...
I was thinking to myself, people in my space of creating would had irritated the hell out of me, how could he do this or allow them in his space? I was relieved to hear they irritated him as he worked,as an artist/creator I couldn't have done this at all.
Especially that shrill voice!
You can see how uncomfortable he is with the camera!
Embarrassed.
Have you not seen Richters figurative paintings? Hes an amazing painter who found a way to reinvent gesture & is highly involved in the process/action of painting. Thats how I take it at least. How can you get more expressive than that? Photorealism? I dont think so. That's boring.
Nobody cares about whats cool, or whatever you mean by that.
If youre saying you cant afford to paint like him because the size (it's not very expensive to build your own canvas) then find your own way of painting.
Richter didn't reinvent anything. He was just another face in the crowd of aspiring wannabes 50 year ago. Attrition and lucky breaks launched him into undeserved stardom. He's pushed that lazy squeegee shtick way past its natural artistic lifespan.
Jack Whitten invented the large scraping tool way before Richter did
My Canvas is Done from my Face.
using a reg size palate knife i can do about the same thing. guess its who u know and how big u paint it
Have you ever tried to make art? Because you obviously have no clue about how it is...
Gerhard did not invent a tool - he enlarged an already existing tool - drywall trowel - to accommodate the size of a canvas.
This is not some holy grail, when people have been doing it all along.
But they were called crafters and yet HE is called an artist.
It seems All you need is a good copywriter and voice over to escalate your work from low-brow to high brow art/ART.
I can only help you if you're willing to break the rigidities in your definition of art. The abstract painting of Richter (and - by the way - other abstract painters too) show only what is seen! It stands for its own! There is no additional meaning! Why do you need an additional meaning? It is nothing more to explain. If this is not enough for you, hear to Richter when he says something about his work!
🙌🏼
I actually love his work, but that does not mean the truth should be ignored. There are many artist's work I also love whom will never even get a single gallery showing yet are no less important than Richter to me. As well I have also seen very technically skilled realist artists who cant sell a painting yet their skill is almost unmatched. The art word is uneven at best and there are thousands of good abstract artists, Richter being just one, better than most but not as good as others.
Y TE LA LLEVAS FACIL!!!!!!!!!
he is an artist, his work is art.
you're the only joke here !
It’s simple a big trowel, experiment nothing. if you study civil engineer they teach you how to use it, like I did. The world of art to make it is about who you shake your hand.🤷♀️
Plenty of ignorant/ uninformed comments to be found here.
40-240B
So boring...wonder how his art is worth so much..did satchi buy them then put them into a famous gallery and bubum your famous..like tracey emin and damien hirst.
Yes you´re right! .Boring because that isn´t art is for decoration white walls in the house of snob people. A lot promotion from his merchant, and that´s it.
I see one guy understands ... that's normal
No se deje llevar por el psicoanalisis.
Germany's?? The world's!!!
Lots if ignorant comments here.
That's to be expected, unfortunately. The number of daft twats who feel the need to bad mouth contemporary art even though they've never studied the subject is shocking.
Monty Cantsin
He had some good stuff. Abstrakt bild is incredible. A lot of his work is trash, however, and you don't need a degree to tell the difference.
Pure garbage.
@@anthonyjames5474: What work is trash? The photo-based paintings? A lot of people prefer them to the abstract images so I'm unsure what point you are trying to make.
:)
May be 20yrs down the line i can relate to his Art,its just like a work of a plaster no effort whatso ever,Yes art can be a scam,a good public relations sell anything,,what happened to old masters style,,,lol
I don't know what you are looking at. You are not impressed with a photo realistic painting. He can be an old and a new master. There are a lot of old masters out there. Having said that promotion is what sells are and always has been.
You are wright there, just my critic,or maybe am jealous he has it easier..lol,in his marketing,notwithstanding, it wouldn't go down without saying, its still pretty good work at end of the day.
There are lots of this kind of "abstract" painting effects on RUclips. You wouldn't find a video about how to do a Malevich, or action painting. No one would dare. But these Richters are not that different.
Can someone please explain Richter's abstract paintings to me? I just don't understand the mass appeal and praise that everyone everywhere gives them. I love art and painting but I just don't understand why people are so drawn to them. Everyone says they are wonderful, amazing, and so on but they don't discuss why they are saying that. Is it just personal preferences or is there some great meaning/emotion behind them I am missing? Don't even get me started on the prices. Anyone want to help me?
Gerhart Richter’s work is very popular because it is often taught alongside postmodern literature in universities and colleges and is used as a visual example of how meaning fades and is obliterated through time. His early work involved taking historical photographs and blurring the photos with paint; the result was a blurring of meaning. It was considered a little on the noise by the many of the postmodern thinkers of his time. His later works were the large abstractions you see him painting in the video. His goal with these paintings was to get away from all meaning whatsoever and to work towards pure creation. He often argued that his abstraction was free of bias and simply spoke through the creative process. From a critical thinking standpoint you could think of his artistic progression as flowing from postmodernism,(meaning is fades and is distorts with repetition and time) to deconstructionism, (the is no real meaning other than pure creation) Anyway, I hope that helps.
Of course he's making something for resale, he's an artist and it's his profession! when you are successful, it's what you do. Every artist is their own biggest critic, so of course he doesn't want to release something he isn't happy with, wether it would sell or not. His paintings sell for an insane amount, so I'm guessing he doesn't need the money.Hardly irrational thinking.
Creative process getting ruined by cameras?! More like he doesn't want anyone to see how pathetically easy it is to cash out a fortune.
Many modern abstract comments---© 2024 k.o.f.
Richter is incredibly overrated but his success at least shows that Germans still take painting seriously. They might, however, take their painters a little too seriously.
I spent many decades making art, studied with many notable professors, studied at several universities with some of our top art historians, and basically devoted my entire life to the study of fine art. I also have works in important collections and museums. My point is: Richter is a complete joke. He is a real case of The Emperor's Clothes. Zero talent. Zero artistic ability. Zero real creativity. Yet for some strange reason he has been risen to the limelight. I find all of his works particularly ugly and would never want to own one. If there were an exhibit there is simply no way I could bring myself to suffer to see more of his work. Also, I must say that I really look askance at anyone who says they like anything about his artwork. It is all just a waste of materials. PS: this criticism is not "sour grapes". I am quite serious. He is simply not an artist.
I doubt that you can do what Richter is doing. (Try it and you will see!)
And what you can do is not art, if you're not an artist,
but it's art, if you're an artist!
Thats not an artist... thats a fraud. The 'art world' is a tragic joke - the ultimate con job.
looks more like a man fooling himself into thinking he is doing something and then convincing others of the same. And I am an abstract artist myself.
Total überbewertet, hier ist nur Geldmachen wichtig
Just because he's a recluse doesn't make him a good artist. Using his method, it is mathematically impossible to do a "good" painting. And he proves that.
Nonsense.
Richter is a case of the cream rising to the top. It's not crap; you just lack the aesthetic sense to understand art like his. Perhaps you think Pollack was a shyster, Mondrian a hack and Kandinsky a scribbler. What constitutes "genuine" art in your sad, myopic world? I'll tell you that Richter's abstract work affected me even when I was a know-nuthin' teenager, and I really do pity anyone who can't see the beauty of his work.
No use my writing this since your post was 9 years ago. Anyway, you are very sadly mistaken about every point you made. Spend more decades learning something about art, then re-evaluate Richter. You will find that he does not even register on they scale of talents.
@KlingKlangworkshop total fraud
Overexposed and overpriced.
not really. he did this first. overexposed? he has been talked about since the 1960's. his art is important art and it always has been. he doesn't just do it to do it. he does it with deep integrity and with intent and meaning.
also, he doesn't set the price.
Nice decoration techniques.
Maybe overpriced but not overexposed
This guy is experimenting how to do a drywall sheetrock !!!!???? It has nothing to do with art this man is not a artist. ARE you in a market for a sheetrock drywall this the guy is your MAN. Greetings from LAS Vegas
@Nik Grujic Gerhard Richter is regarded as one of the most important contemporary German artists. Try buying a "drywall" and you'll see 😉
"no comment about the artistic process" lol. Becouse there is no artistic proces.
He's a Jew and most of his buyers are jews. Its odd most of the most rich and well paid painters are jews. Heavy jewish interest in these artists. I would love some research to see if this is really a jewish cult following among jews.
Only 3 people out of every 1000 earthlings are Jews. What is amazing that 23% of Nobel Laureats are Jews. 👏👍✌
Obviously, you never were aware of this and your undetstanding of GENETICS/MATHEMATICS/CYBERNRTICS/MEDICINE/ECONOMICS/NANOTECHNOLOGY/BIOTEHNOLOGY/COMMUNICATION/ROBOTICS/QUANTUM PHYSICS IS AS BAD OR RATHER AT NOTHING AS YOUR APPRECIATION OF ART!👎
Oh, how I despise antisemitic nincompoops🐴🐷🐏🐵!
***** Gerhard Richter is an Atheist. His parents were Christian, his father drafted in to the German army during the war. Even if he was Jewish, you are fully out of line. Away with you.www.timeout.com/london/art/gerhard-richter-interview
cecilyt006 Richter is common jewish name though. nothing offensive to what i said. Asians buy asian art too.
As, a Jew, I think that Jew Jew Jew, Jew? Jew.
ha
How does your mathematical reasoning go?
Sorry, I just don't like it, it's not what I call art.
He's fooling himself right into millions of dollars and a legacy of 50 years. What is your legacy? Perhaps most of your work will end up in friends' homes or in the trash heap? Perhaps you're jealous of a man whose work appeals to so many, whose shows can draw thousands and thousands of people to art museums across the planet?
Crap sells, and this is yet another example. Fortunately, for those who care about genuine art, quality sells, as well.
IT'S GUYS LIKE THIS THAT GIVE ART A BAD NAME!
I can do this, so its NOT Art.
hasslich
