Gerhard Richter is probably the greatest artist of this century. I believe his political statement has to do with his experience as an artist in a society that failed communism and is failing capitalism. I totally understand his position bringing a larger view on what is happening now and the dangers we face as a “société du spectacle” rather than a humanist society. We keep on making mistakes and the world of tomorrow will face this lack of art as beauty.

Is art the good that is available only to a few sensitive people who feel differently? If so, then this is why outstanding artists often have problems with acceptance in life. Today, when social media is available, it is easier to reach people who love art, and thus even the living can gain recognition. There is a constant search for new means of artistic expression adequate to the times, as well as directions. Undoubtedly, COMPMATURISM is today the most promising direction that takes into account the artistic needs of people.

I believe that all of the European languages pronounce the word for the color black to sound in that similar way, but they don't consider it a racially expressed word. We must consider that other languages don't necessarily sound like our words in English Then on the contrary, these European languages hold many of our original root words, later translated to English.

Gerard Richter has some good paintings and definitely inspired many young artists to visualize the art of the future but his latest work about stripes was already invented and it was really fashionable in many countries not long ago. It makes me think that these stripes are just good for decorate the walls, if you take a close look to furniture shops that is the most banal thing you can find "stripes". Furniture shops are filled with these sort of stripes, as a viewer and an artist I cant take any new information from this work, I cant read any feelings or any sort of expression from Richter in these works. Apologize for my sincere opinion but unfortunately I couldn't find the future in his latest work. Humans are one step to be outsmarted by artificial intelligence and art its the only thing that distinguish us from advanced technology and other animals in this world. Art express the deepest feelings of human it always followed technology and inspired to build and shape our cities. The art of the future requires something more complex in terms of expressing feelings a more intense and at the same time a simple visual experience to the viewer. I would consider these stripes a pop culture thing and not modern anymore. Richter was quite bold when created these new pieces but who wouldn`t the man is already a celebrity in the art world.

His sociopolitical views certainly aren't his best thinking. But "Neger" in German translates as "Negro" in English; perhaps it also translates as the n-word--I don't know--but I do know that there are other slang-ish German words that clearly translate as the n-word.

Ouch, I wish I would have not watched this video. Beside the fact that he gets lost in what he wants to convey, saying 'Neger' in Germany is one of the most racist terms. He can't distinguish a Dane (which is a nationality) from a 'Neger' (which is just a racist description for a black person). Puh. The older he gets, the more difficult becomes his integrity. The translation is not always correct; e.g. he doesn't talk about immigration, but of big changes of societies/countries in general: 'Umwälzungen'.

As a matter of fact, the term hurts people's feelings (as much as it does when other people call me a fag bec I am gay) and why would we want this to happen?
