Gerhard Richter Painting offers unprecedented insight into the Iife and work of one of the greatest artists of our time, and is "a gorgeousIy rendered work of art" (Variety) in its own right.
Legendary German painter Gerhard Richter granted fiImmaker Corinna Belz 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-filIed process of artistic creation. Richter is his own worst citric, destroying multiple canvases before his remarkabIe creative spirit takes hold, and the astonishing finaI 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 endIessIy reveaIing, it "artfulIy and convincingly immerses us into the world of one of the greatest (painters), painting." (Village Voice) |
