Gerhadt Richter

I have looked at his worked at Richter's work at he has painted several things and I was thinking of doing my own painting so I was looking at how others have painting the human figure before but I have come to the conclusion that as I only know little knowledge of painting it may take me a long time to paint something.

Gerhard Richter was born to Horst and Hildegard Richter in Dresden on February 9, 1932. Having married the year before, Gerhard was their first child, with a daughter, Gisela, arriving in 1936. Horst Richter, with whom Gerhard did not have a close relationship, was a teacher at a secondary school in Dresden.¹ Hildegard was a bookseller, and like her father, a talented pianist. She was passionate about literature, and passed on her enthusiasm and knowledge to the young Gerhard. They were, in many respects, an average middle-class family. In an interview with Robert Storr, Richter described his early family life as "simple, orderly, structured – mother playing the piano and the father earning money".
