格哈德·里希特
當代最具影響力的畫家之一
I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings.
To talk about painting is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too.
The only thing I can rely on is my own perception, and that is always changing.
我唯一能依靠的是自己的感知，而它總是在變化。
A picture is a representation, an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.
一幅畫是一種再現(xiàn)、一種幻覺、一種魔法，所以你所看到的并不是你所看到的。
I don't believe in anything, and that gives me great freedom.
我什么都不相信，這給了我極大的自由。
The only thing that matters is the work itself.
I don’t know what art is, but I know what it does.
我不知道藝術(shù)是什么，但我知道它能做什么。
The more uncertain I am, the more I feel the need to paint.
我越不確定，就越感到需要畫畫。
I am not trying to imitate a photograph; I am trying to make one.
我不是在試圖模仿照片；我是在試圖制造一張照片。
The only way to understand painting is to look at it.
Painting is a moral act.
繪畫是一種道德行為。
The only thing that counts is what cannot be explained.
