'Betty', oil on canvas, 72 x 102
cm, 1988
Richter painted his daughter Betty
in an unusual manner as a sitter.
she is turning her back to the artist. the background of the image
is one of Richter's monochromatic paintings.
(which is unfortunately not much visible - about the loss of details
due to scanning the image) but it's theme is about
the Vietnam war. Richter's chosen color for this
thickly painted image associates sadness and despair.
