Born in Germany in 1932, artist Gerhard Richter's family was affected by, and wrapped up in, the Nazi movement. His work is a catalyst of his childhood, which was laced with rigorous ideology and death.
The materials that Richter worked with: nature photos with paint over top- is thought to be a representation of his 'attraction to nature as an indiscriminate force.' He is noted to have a strong dislike for ideology and that coupled support from mother, lead him to be a highly influential artist to 1960's Germany.
