Gerhard Richter

I am going to talk about one of the best painter in Arts History, his name is Gerhard Richter.
Richter is a german painter, he was born in 1932 in Dresden-Neustadt , he studies at the Academy of Art in 1952-1956. After making murals, Richter beging a new phase in his career  it was when he discovered abstract expressionism and a series of tendencies.In this time he belonged to the group called pop art.
In 1962 he takes a new direction in painting, he use the photography with as a support, painting over them with a lot of paint and creating an abstract composition very diferent mixing the figurative to the abstract photography with painting.
I love Gerhard Richter because he use a very diferent  technique and materials, for example: in some big paints he use a long peace of wood and it moves horizontally  dragging painting with diferent colors creating a wonderful abstract composition. I think that is very interesting the performance he makes when he paint this big works
