As I am writing about the abstinence of content in the work of Gerhard Richter, and how he tries to avoid the suject, it reminded me of another german painter -georg baselitz- which had the intention to make the image a painting again. his way of doing it is, that he paints the picture upside down. This aims to give the viewer another approach to the picture, and wants to put the painting itself in the foreground the image in the background. Sometimes he also replaces the black with white, and the white with black, which furthermore abstracts the image.
one could ask, why he doesn´t do abstract painting, if he intends this kind of approach, but actually I love questions left with the observer. If one has every answer to every question, is the painting of any interest anymore? Does the magic remain?
