grit, their determination, is -- is channeled and -- and they have an opportunity to succeed.

Yeah, human species⏤the human species wouldn't be here without some grit and resilience.

And I think, in some ways, you could argue that we're really lacking our resilience and grit.

Emma, nude on a staircase, one of his most famous works he ever painted, and he took on geometric abstraction with his colour chart, influenced by his friend Blinky Palermo, but also influenced by pop art and minimal art. Richter had already been experimenting with abstraction and minimal painting, think of the abstracted blur or washed out zones of oil paint, but also depicting very minimal elements, such as curtains, tubes, turning sheets or daily objects. The colour charts were copies of paint sample cards, which paved the way for Richter's future abstract paintings. After Emma, nude on a staircase, Richter would paint several erotic nudes in 1967, followed by cityscapes, aerial views, mountains, starscapes, clouds, seascapes and landscapes in 1968 and 1969. With these artworks, there is this notion of both an almost nostalgic romanticism and an ongoing exploration of abstraction. He would paint many shadow pictures, corrugated iron as a geometric abstract work, grey monochromes, colour streaks and grit, arriving at pure abstraction and questioning the limits of representation. By the end of the decade, Richter had established himself as a contemporary artist, participating in group exhibitions across the globe. In 1969, he was included in the exhibition Nine Young Artists at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, his first show at a major institution. However, Richter was still unsure about his future and in search for a specific direction, so his paints and the experiments would continue.

But the truth is, it takes grit.

But he's also using a kill switch, something that's killing the signal from his guitar, and that adds that little extra level of grit and chaos to his playing style.

I define grit as the combination of perseverance and passion for a very long-term, meaningful goal.

Character is much broader, and yes it includes grit but also things like curiosity and gratitude

It takes true grit to survive in these desolate,

That annoying grit that sticks to your whole body after a day at the beach

Grit is a combination of character traits,

later invented the so-called Grit-Scale,

through even the toughest grime and grit.
