First he applies paint in thick layers, which he then removes or smudges with a squeegee. As in nature, its process consists of creation and destruction.<\/p>\n<p>In this work, shades of gray have taken the lead, but they could not completely erase the memory of color. What did the canvas look like before Richter used the squeegee? Did he envision the result like this from the start? As in a dream, we cannot see what lies in the dark, what past experiences or future wishes will determine the course of our dream.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n\n                              <!-- End Switch Layout  -->\n\n            <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n                                                                                       \n         \n         <div class=\" mb-475 mb-sm-5 mb-lg-55\">\n            <div class=\"row justify-content-center the-content \">\n\n               <!-- Headings -->\n                                                                                          \n                     <div class=\"content-accordion | col-12 py-3\">\n                        <div id=\"content-accordion-2\">\n                                                         <div class=\"akkordeon-item | bg-gray-200 rounded-4 mb-1\" >   <!-- head -->\n      <h3 class='akkordeon-header font-xl py-125 m-0' id='content-accordion-2-head0'>\n      <button class='akkordeon-header__link d-flex w-100 line-height-12-force  shadow-none font-l-force text-start justify-content-between hover-text-shadow-light btn btn-overlay round collapsed' role='button' data-bs-toggle='collapse' data-bs-target='#content-accordion-2-col0' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='content-accordion-2-col0'>\n         <span class='akkordeon-header__text pe-3 pe-lg-4'>View inside<\/span>\n         <span class='akkordeon-header__icon round flex-shrink-0'><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n   <\/h3>\n\n   <!-- body -->\n<div id='content-accordion-2-col0' class='accordion-collapse collapse ' aria-labelledby='content-accordion-2-head0' data-bs-parent='#content-accordion-2'><div class='akkordeon-body'>                              <div class=\"akkordeon__text font-l last-child-mb-0 the-content -btns-black px-325 pt-2 pb-35\">\n                                 <p>This work contains no explicit message or moral instruction, but it draws attention back to the viewer by challenging everyone&#8217;s own perception, interpretation and emotions.

Nature and man do not exist separately either, but in interwoven systems of growth and destruction, in which an action leads to both predictable and unforeseen consequences. For a long time, people were convinced that, like the squeegee, they shaped the world from the outside. In the course of climate change and with research into the Anthropocene, it is now becoming increasingly clear that humans are also part of the color layers and, together with nature, wield the squeegee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Insight into Richter&#8217;s working methods:<br \/>\n<div class=\"ratio ratio-16x9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gerhard Richter Painting: watch the master artist at work\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yF6EluMNR14\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block;
