Gerhard Richter Painting
“Magnificent and evocative…as close as cinema gets to tracking the impulses and paradoxes of a gifted imagination.”
— Aaron Hillis, Village Voice“Most exciting of all is the heavy scrape of the giant squeegee Richter draws across the canvas, magically transforming the paint below and thrilling the eye and ear with the near-tactile reality of contact and creation. The film is akin to being in a museum that’s come alive.”
— Nicolas Rapold, Film Comment“Shows us the world’s most famous living painter, who turned 80 in February, at work with greater intimacy than any other film portrait of a contemporary artist provides.”
— Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle -
