- Richter working on a piece using huge canvases and tools to apply paint. Reaction: I really love Richter's style of painting! His use of palette knife in some of his earlier pieces such as the park piece is the type of abstract work that I want to possibly do in order to create scenes. The feeling that his color schemes give off that may even confuse the viewer is quite powerful. In his apple piece, he purposefully blurred the piece in order show that an artist can never show the full truth of a subject in a work of art. This concept resonates with me, because when I create works with palette knife, I purposefully make them slightly abstract because a realistic painting will never truly show the entire emotion and perfect replica of the scene itself. However, when working with textures, the artist can add their own twist to a subject which is what Gerard Richter did here. His artistic process of standing up and applying paint is AWESOME. It's amazing how a painting comes together if you just see the final piece. His use of wooden slabs is quite interesting and unique to his artistic process. Although he doesn't explicably say it, his experiences in WW2 have clearly influenced his works because of their *vibe*, and I appreciate the overall feeling of his works. I think that applying one's own emotion into artistic pieces is vital to its content and adds an artist's mark on any piece made.
