Gerhard Richter, Tante Marianne (1965) (Artworks)Tuesday August 22nd (2023)
Gerhard Richter's work, Aunt Marianne. Based on a photo taken in June 1932. The painting shows the artist as a four-month-old boy sitting in the lap of his 14-year-old aunt. The photo-realist painting appears to resemble nothing more than an innocent Sunday afternoon snap taken in the family back garden. But, in fact, it encapsulates Marianne's fate as one of 250,000 people killed under a forgotten euthanasia programme.(theguardian.com) My photograph taken at Tate Modern's Capturing the Moment exhibition Send a comment
