Gerhard Richter, one of the most important contemporary painters, exceptionally allowed director Corinna Belz into his studio while he was working on a number of monumental abstract paintings. Viewers witness his dynamic and highly personal process of artistic creation. Richter paints, observes, doubts, rejects and redoes. The paintings become the stars of the film. A unique art film that does not look back at an artist’s career but blossoms into an entertaining and breathtaking ode to artistic creation itself.
