Gerhard Richter is
considered one of the pivotal artists in post World
War II in Germany.
His works are often based on photographs, he had
either himself taken of everyday subjects or selected
from magazines and newspapers.
While the magazine and newspaper photographs are often
clear and explicit, Richter's oil paintings are hazy
and possess a passing, unstable and shaky quality.
These are Richter's "Photo-paintings".
Along with photojournalistic works, Richter attempts
to create abstract works as well. But, unlike his
figurative works, which are often in hues of gray, his
abstract works reveal dynamism and varied colors and
they are somewhat aggressive.
Richter is a prominent modern artist, whose protest
against the established order is expressed in a
figurative form.
