Gerhard Richter

“Art is the pure realization of religious feeling, capacity for faith, longing for God. The ability to believe is our outstanding quality, and only art adequately translates it into reality.” GR 1988

“I always aspire to paint good portraits, but I can't do that any more. I'm much more concerned with painting beautiful pictures.”
GR 1995

“I don’t like pictures that I understand.” GR 1962

The @metmuseum has a special treat for all of those feeling art deprived. The feature-length documentary ‘Gerhard Richter Painting’ showing the artist at work will be available to stream for free on their website from Saturday through early July.
