Reviews
Richter has chronicled his intellectual life as a painter through journal entries, letters and other assorted communications. It is very informative to see his progression from rejecting analysis of his works to embracing it, then back again. The thing that impressed me most about Richter was his professional and businesslike approach to his work. I took this book with me on train rides and short trips where I could injest it in small doses. I would suggest other readers do the same.
