Gerhard Richter...

Girl. I think what stands out the most about Richter's painting is the use of light in this piece, the way it is sharp and obvious on the neck of the girl and how it has a nice contrast with the darker shade of her skin. The appearance of the painting is amazing as well, its so life like. The picture although I may be mistaken has a slight blurred effect I think which after seeing his exhibition at the Tate I have come to realise that in a lot of his work Richter almost smudges his piece, landscape across the page.

Two Couples. What I think is interesting about this piece is the effect it is done with, which to be honest I'm not sure what that is. It reminds me of say an old fashioned photograph, perhaps if a picture had gone slightly wrong and there was too much flash or light. True to his style once again he has managed to include a slight unfocussed effect to his art however rather than creating this by dragging the paint or ink material across it lucks as if he has in only a section of the piece smudged each line individually. 

Abstract Piece. Although I struggle to understand abstract art I think that there are certain pieces that with specific marks and splatters can look effective and interesting. I didn't enjoy all of Richter's  abstract pieces for example I found the larger peices with a lot of colour included quite horrible to look at, as well as his pieces 'cage' however I did like this smaller piece of his. Whatever the piece is, if it is anything I think seems to grow form the bottom, up and the individual sections of colour work as there is not too much and not too little. The texture of the piece in my opinion is also interesting as it looks at first as it it might be created on wood having a sort of splintered effect however after actually looking at the piece in person its obvious that the effect is created with the application and removal of paint. 

Bombers. Being one of the first pieces I saw in Richter's exhibition I sort of liked this piece. There isn't anything specific that I think is horrible about the piece but I just don't think it is one of his bets pieces after seeing his exhibition. I do like how the piece's colour scheme changes from what appears to be a white background to a soft green. The planes then on this background look as if they are printed on with a stamp and I think with the background not just being white but a slight mix of two colours helps them stand out.
