Background information
"Gerhard RICHTER has always been interested in the landscape. No other motif has fascinated him as much and occupied him over the years: black and white landscapes based on magazine reproductions and amateur photographs, impasto-painted mountain views and park pieces, illusionistic seascapes of subtle color and transparency. Since the softly painted views of Corsica from 1968/69, landscapes have established themselves as a separate group of works in Richter's oeuvre. In his paintings, Gerhard Richter captures reality in a painterly way, whereby landscape and abstraction do not appear as opposites but as related concepts.Contents
This volume, 'Landscapes', explores Richter's landscape painting from the early 1960s to the present day with outstanding illustrations and insightful texts." (© Hatje Cantz Verlag, 2011)
