Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Art - Photography and Film, printed single-sided, grade: 70, University of Westminster (Media, Arts and Design), course: Perspectives in Photography, language: English, comment: Falls es möglich ist, würde ich den Vertrag lieber nicht über eine Einmalzahlung abschließen, sonder über ein Autorenhonorar. Das System lässt mich nicht mehr zurückgehen und ich habe das falsche Kästchen angeklickt. , abstract: Gerhard Richter is one of the most successful contemporary artists. His work is known for being very diverse and having no specific style seems to be his style. His apparent lack of a clear commitment to a style, an opinion, or a political standpoint can also be found in his blur technique which he uses for his paintings from photographic originals: blurring the originally sharp images abstracts them. Richter s point of view seems to be hidden behind a thin but insurmountable curtain. The blur also keeps the viewer from seeing clear himself, from judging the situation, from taking on a standpoint. The painter has to confront this criticism of having no opinion especially with his political historical subjects, like the paintings Onkel Rudi /Uncle Rudi (1965) or Tante Marianne/ Aunt Marianne (1965), which show relatives of Richter in the context of Nazi Germany. Apart from these, especially the cycle October 18, 1977 made onlookers search for the artist s opinion and intention, as these 15 paintings do not show a political subject represented on the basis of family photographs, like his earlier works. The cycle s source images are press and police photographs and it deals with the events around the Baader- Meinhof gang, a group of terrorists active in Germany in the 1970s. At the time Richter chose to paint this subject, the events had already passed for more than a decade, which seems like he wanted to say something about it that he felt was missing but essential to close this chapter of history. Viewers and critics are therefore looking for his statement in the painting but cannot find what they expect. The painter is criticized for picking a controversial subject, attracting attention to the issue, raising questions but refusing to offer an opinion and refuse an answer. The artist himself, though, says, that the political topicality of my October paintings means almost nothing to me (Richter, 1968, n.p.).In the following essay I want to concentrate on the blur effect in Richter s cycle October, 18 1977 . I will show how the blur changed the effect of the source photographs and that the artist s statement lies exactly there. When generally blur stands for obscuring the clear sight on a subject, this is arguable for the cycle: Through the blur, the viewer here much more gets the chance of a real encounter with these images. This essay will focus on the comparison of the effect of the original photographs and Richter s version.
