Meaning & Analysis

The military intervention as a subject matter of the present work is related to Richter’s longstanding interest in the questions of history and collective experience. In his works, the artist frequently takes recourse to the themes of family history, reviving the memory of people and places that otherwise could be forgotten. Onkel Rudi (Uncle Rudi), one of Richter’s most famous works, depicts Richter’s uncle who was killed on the Western front in 1944. Mustangs is another example of how Richter’s works reinvoke difficult legacies of the past. The artist commented in the context of his practice: “‘I do not pursue any particular intentions, system, or direction. I do not have a programme, a style, a course to follow. I have brought not being interested in specialist problems, working themes, in variations towards mystery. I shy away from all restrictions, I do not know what I want, I am inconsistent, indifferent, passive; I like things that are indeterminate and boundless, and I like persistent uncertainty”.

  • Hailing from Germany, Gerhard Richter has not been confined to one visual style. A testament to versatility and artistic diversity, Richter's work spans from photorealism to abstraction and conceptual art, and his portfolio is rich in varied media. From creating bold canvases to working on glass to distort the lines between wall-based art and sculpture, Richter has honed in on the blur technique to impart an ambiguity on his creations. To this day, Richter is one of the most recognised artists of the 20th century with his art having been presented in exhibitions worldwide. His global impact underscores his legacy as a trailblazer of artistic exploration.
