GERHARD RICHTER // OVERPAINTED PHOTOGRAPHS








photos from Gerhard Richter

I've been really inspired by German artist Gerhard Richter's overpainted photographs lately (Some date back from 1986). A concept so simple, yet i love the way Richter uses paint and texture to bring a literal extra layer of emotion to the story of the photo. Australian designer Josh Goot (more on him later) recently used Richter's overpainted photographs as inspiration for his prints in his new spring 2011/12 collection.
