His art masterfully moves between abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial—ambivalent attitudes which he demonstrated even in his early work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGerhard Richter's oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis applies in particular to his door, curtain, and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central focus of this volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lavishly appointed volume is published to mark the artist's 85th birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596478759148,"sku":"9783777428949","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777428949-gerhard-richter.jpg?v=1777926992"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/martin-germann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
