Richter, peintre d'Allemagne : le drame d'une famille

Description

Gerhard Richter, the great artist, finds his work shaken by an investigation into a buried family past. His aunt, Marianne, a victim of the Nazi euthanasia program, will be exterminated-and Richter was unaware that his future father-in-law, Heinrich Eufinger, played a central role in this crime. This book exposes the hidden tragedy beneath the artist's genius, where each painting from the 1960s reflects a sinister legacy. Through this narrative, memory and painting intertwine in a confrontation with History. Richter, far more than a painter, emerges as an unwitting witness to an era whose true depths he had only glimpsed. A text that reconsiders art, family, and responsibility in the face of forgotten horrors.
