格哈德·里希特
當(dāng)代最具影響力的畫家之一
The more uncertain and insecure I feel, the more I cling to the idea of painting.
我感到越不確定和不安，就越堅(jiān)持繪畫的念頭。
I don’t want to imitate reality; I want to create it.
我不想模仿現(xiàn)實(shí)，我想創(chuàng)造現(xiàn)實(shí)。
The only thing that counts is what cannot be explained.
I don’t follow any particular theory. I just do what seems right to me.
我不遵循任何特定的理論，我只做我認(rèn)為正確的事。
I don’t create; I find.
我不創(chuàng)造，我發(fā)現(xiàn)。
I am not trying to imitate a photograph; I am trying to make one.
I don’t know what I want. I am inconsistent, non-committal, passive; I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty.
我不知道我想要什么。我反復(fù)無常、不堅(jiān)定、被動(dòng)；我喜歡不確定、無邊界；我喜歡持續(xù)的不確定性。
我唯一知道的是我一無所知。
The only thing I can rely on is my own perception, and that is always changing.
To talk about painting is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too.
A picture must be a thing in itself, not a representation of something else.
一幅畫必須是它自身的東西，而不是其他事物的再現(xiàn)。
我不相信任何事，而這是我唯一相信的事。
我不創(chuàng)造烏托邦，我描繪現(xiàn)實(shí)。
我唯一知道的是我一無所知。
