DIPLOMA ART AND DESIGN: PHOTOGRAPHY
PROPOSAL & Describing Research for Distinction Task.
1. The pictures I have got from the artist Gerhard Richter are colourful and he uses bright colours for his pictures to make them look better. The pictures I am looking at are Landscape’s, the pictures are weird because its is pictures of a wood but it looks as-if one picture has been broken up into 16 sections and moved around to make 16 separate pictures. The picture is made up from a lot of lines and shapes all over making the trees and the water and the bushes. The emotion I get from this pictures is Confusion because I don’t understand why this picture was taken and why it was taken all I know is the picture makes no sense at-all but makes the viewer make their own reason why it was taken and what it means. Here is a quote from Gerhard Richter:
“Of course, my landscapes are not only beautiful or nostalgic, with a Romantic or classical suggestion of lost Paradises, but above all ‘untruthful’ (even if I did not always find a way of showing it); and by ‘untruthful’ I mean the glorifying way we look at nature – nature, which in all its forms is always against us, because it knows no meaning, no pity, no sympathy, because it knows nothing and is absolutely mindless: the total antithesis of ourselves, absolutely inhuman.”
3. I will be doing my photography in Wythenshawe near where I live because it has some forested areas. I will be taking these picture from 27th March – 5th April. No health and safety risks and it is costless.
