There is a very interesting clip at the end. When the media introduced the work in front of the work, they avoided the naked woman and the Nazi officer respectively, and came to a painting without any controversy to take a good picture. Therefore, whether it is East Germany or West Germany, we will bound by ideology.

The prototype of the protagonist - German artist Richter, the abstract concept of early realism and late stage was born. As a German artist, his artistic style is inherently difficult to get rid of the relationship with the social and political environment. The director did not talk much about political ideology. The officers and workers and peasants that the protagonist kurt sang about in the early stage made him realize that art should not be like this. Why does it have such an effect on people; why there is an ideology at all, whether it is inevitable." Presumably Richter's experience in East Germany also had a great influence on him.

"Only freedom in art is not fantasy"

The work without a master is also a free movement that only the author can understand. Speaking of this, it will feel that the director's understanding of Richter and modern art is ambiguous, including Richter, who also thinks that this film insults and distorts his experience. If we really want to use a movie to explain what the artist himself has experienced and the process of style evolution in modern art, it is almost impossible. . who I am? what am i doing? where am i from? where to go? (Look ~ the essence of art is still the same... Haha skin

Never Look Away quotes

  • Kurt Barnert: You smoke?

    Professor Carl Seeband: Sixty-three is the right age to start. The consequences will hardly catch up with me.

  • Kurt Barnert: Not random. Real. Coherent. Consistent. Only reality is consistent. Every reality is consistent. Everything that's true is beautiful. Let's suppose I say six numbers to you now. It's just stupid. Pointless. But if the six numbers are the winning lottery numbers, then they mean something. They have consistency, value, almost beauty. It's the same with the photographs. I want the truth.
