"I believe I am looking for rightness. My work has so much to do with reality that I wanted to have a corresponding rightness. That excludes painting in imitation. In nature everything is always right: the structure is right, the proportions are good, the colours fit the forms. If you imitate that in painting, it becomes false."

 "Richter's abstracts are poetry in paint and the work of a man who is capable of great joy, no matter what he might say. They are beautiful, and they have persisted through thick and thin, a testament to a spirit that is able to take flight no matter what destructive warfare the world in its imperfection wages upon it". -The City Review-
