    The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today)

    19:49The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today)
    • These experiments brought him to his formalum or in-paintings, in which he continued to examine the relation between representation and abstraction. What started as a representational painting was being reworked in such a manner, the imagery was entirely obliterated, using gestural brushstrokes and thick impastos. Uniquely, Richter made these gestural brushstrokes without being expressive, pulling the paint across the canvas in an emotionless manner, involving expression as an impelling force of painting. Doing so, Richter emphasised the painterly gesture, a witness of Richter's engagement towards the abstract as a counter-model of the figurative, coming to terms with the new possibilities for painting offered by abstraction and minimalism. Furthermore, from a personal perspective, the 1970s were not the happiest of years for Gerhard Richter, as his marriage with Emma was gradually coming to an end, and he lost his very dear friend Blinke Palermo unexpectedly in 1976. As a result, his grey paintings, but also his figurative works, think of his seascapes in particular, are embedded with a deep melancholy.
