"GERHARD RICHTER PAINTING" (NR) (1:37) Directed by Corinna Belz, 2011. Widely considered one of the world's greatest living painters, the German artist Gerhard Richter has spent over half a century experimenting with a tremendous range of techniques and ideas. Famously media-shy, he agreed to appear on camera for the first time in 15 years for a 2007 short by filmmaker Corinna Belz called "Gerhard Richter's Window." Her follow-up, "Gerhard Richter Painting," is exactly that -- a document of Richter's creative process, juxtaposed with intimate conversations (with his critics, his collaborators, and his American gallerist Marian Goodman) and rare archive material. We watch the 79-year-old create a series of large-scale abstract canvasses, using fat brushes and a massive squeegee to apply layer after layer of brightly colored paint. The mesmerizing footage of Richter's highly charged process of creation and destruction turns Belz's portrait of an artist into a work of art itself. In English and German with English subtitles.
