“I don't know what motivated the artist, which means that the paintings have an intrinsic quality. I think Goethe called it the 'essential dimension,' the thing that makes great works of art great.” ThinkingKnowsMeanArtArtistQualityGreatnessPaintingEssentialsDimensionsWorks Of ArtMotivatedGreat Work Book:Gerhard Richter: writings 1961-2007 Source: Gerhard Richter: writings 1961-2007
“The element of heroic maleness had always been present in the concept of the artist as one who rides the winged horse above the clouds beyond the sight of lesser men, a concept seldom applied to those who worked with colours until the nineteenth century. When the inevitable question is asked, "Why are there no great women artists?" it is this dimension of art that is implied. The askers know little of art, but they know the seven wonders of the painting world.” KnowsMenWorldLittlesArtArtistWonderCenturyPaintingElementsConceptsSightHorseSevenCloudsInevitableColourDimensionsHeroicNineteenth CenturyGreat WomenImpliedWoman ArtistMalenessAbove The Clouds Book:The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work Source: The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work

“I'm interested in color belonging to something, where it takes on a completely new kind of vibrancy, rather than being what you would call straight abstract paintings.

“The narrative image has more dimensions than the painted image - literature is more complex than painting. Initially, this complexity represents a disadvantage, because the reader has to concentrate much more than when they're looking at a canvas. It gives the author, on the other hand, the opportunity to feel like a creator: they can offer their readers a world in which there's room for everyone, as every reader has their own reading and vision.” WorldGivingFeelsHandsReadingLiteratureOpportunityRoomsVisionPaintingReaderOffersComplexesCreatorNarrativeComplexityDimensionsCanvasDisadvantages Author:Dumitru Tepeneag
