Five Doors, oil on canvas, donation Museum Ludwig 1978.
In the picture 'Five Doors', Richter illustrates how art deals with reality. In the picture, the doors give the viewer the impression of access to the next room. With the gradual opening of the next door, human perception is in an expectation that is not fulfilled, the interior of the space is empty. Richter puts it this way: "The doors, curtains, surface pictures, shadows, etc. are perhaps parables of despair over the dilemma that seeing makes us recognize things, but at the same time limits and makes partially impossible the realization of reality". One further Object of Richter, please click here ...
