• Resumen

  • In his work on Titian’s Annunciation , Gerhard Richter proposes a way for painting to relate to its own past. Drawing on the theological content of the motif of the annunciation, he also transforms it so what is brought forth is the presence and texture of the painting itself. But rather than simply opting for abstraction as opposed to figuration, or the modern as opposed the classical, his rendering can be understood to retrieve important parts of art theoretical discourse from the time of Titian, above all the debates around color and drawing, and in this sense it uncov- ers possibilities within the tradition itself.
