Gerhard Richter Two Greys Juxtaposed 1966 200 cm X 150 cm Quote by Gerard Richter about these types of paintings: “When I first painted a number of canvases grey all over I did so because I did not know what to paint, or what there might be to paint: so wretched a start could lead to nothing meaningful. As time went on, however, I observed differences of quality among grey surfaces, and also that these betrayed nothing of the destructive motivation that lay behind them. The pictures began to teach me. By generalizing a personal dilemma, they resolved it. Destitution became a constructive statement; it became relative perfection, beauty, and therefore painting.” Gerhard Richter Grau Grey 1970 40 cm X 50 cm Oil on canvas Gerhard Richter Two Greys Juxtaposed 1966 200 cm X 150 cm Oil on canvas
