A great deal has been written about the bewildering heterogeneity of his work over the past 30 years. His seemingly willful and defiant movement between abstract and figurative modes of representation and his seemingly inconsistent methods of applying paint to canvas are consistent  if nothing else  with Richter himselfthe master of the paradoxical statement. Although he has emphasized that he is first a painter and has never been a theorist  he has  throughout his career issued provocative  contentious  and memorable statements.  Over seven years in preparation  this book makes available a selection of Richters texts from all periods of his career  many translated for the first time. There are public statements about specific exhibitions  private reflections drawn from personal correspondence  answers to questions posed by critics  and excerpts from journals discussing the intentions  subjects  methods  and sources of his works from various periods. The writings are accompanied by 87 biographical illustrations of paintings from the artists personal collection.
