Inspiration: the art of Gerhard Richter

Deer, Gerhard Richter, Oil on Canvas, 1963.

Woman with Dog, Gerhard Richter, Oil on Canvas, 1967.
"Picturing things, taking a view, is what makes us human; art is making sense and giving shape to that sense. It is like the religious search for God."
Notes, 1962.
