Experimental Drawings: Gerhard Richter | HENI Talks

#GerhardRichter #Drawing #HENITalks
Gerhard Richter is regarded as one of the most important and influential painters working today.
In this HENI Talk, Professor Michael Newman explores Richter’s lesser-known and largely experimental drawing practice. Newman analyses the repertoire of Richter’s mark-making and their connections to his remarkable achievements in painting, looking closely at works in pencil and charcoal, a series of over-painted photographs, and a set of rarely seen painterly works created using coloured inks.

The paintings as well as the commentary are illuminations revealing what's underneath the surface. Thanks for this wonderful video.

I’m in love with Richter’s work. These‘drawings’ are amazing. Thanks

This dude talks EXACTLY how I'd imagine someone with this kind of knowledge would talk. Like in the Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "Flowers for Charlie" where he says "I've grown rather weary." LOL

Here, it is the narration that's the work of art, not the drawings. Prof. Newman's comment that these are experiments is absolutely correct, and, if someone likes these experiments, they should laude them (buy them?). However, calling them works of art implies that they are in the same category as, say, a good Rembrandt, and that would be asinine.
Unfortunately, most people look at paintings with their ears-they are influenced by what the pundits (who do not paint) write and say. this makes as much sense as my passing judgement on a tennis game.

thank you I have a better appreciation of Richters abstracts.

...'creating territories in relation to limits and potentials' - yes, this might be why I find these drawings so moving and beguiling - they play at the edge of the usual, and hint at potential 'other' dimensions.

The ink drawings are good, the pencil drawings are rubbish
