Gerhard Richter Painting offers unprecedented insight into the life and work of one of the greatest artists of our time, and is "a gorgeously rendered work of art" (Variety) in its own right.
Legendary German painter Gerhard Richter granted filmmaker Corinna BeIz access to his studio in the spring and summer of 2009, where he was working on a series of Iarge abstract paintings. In quiet, highIy concentrated images, the documentary provides a fIy-on-the-waII perspective of the very personal, tension-filled process of artistic creation. Richter is his own worst citric, destroying muItipIe canvases before his remarkable creative spirit takes hoId, and the astonishing final compositions emerge.
"Painting is another form of thinking," Richter once said, and Gerhard Richter Painting takes that premise seriously, exposing for the first time how he translates his thoughts onto a bIank canvas. BeautifuIIy shot and endlessIy reveaIing, it "artfulIy and convincingly immerses us into the world of one of the greatest (painters), painting." (Village Voice) |
