“We've lost these qualities, these abilities to do something by hand. S...” — Gerhard Richter Quote

“We've lost these qualities, these abilities to do something by hand. Some illustrators have it still, but it's just not art. We have photography. We have cameras and computers that do it better and faster.”

“Good art in general aspires to something, as a good painting aspires to something, almost spiritual or holy.”

“I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.”

“Doing a movie about computers between 1978 and 1982? You can't get much less sexy, less active than that.”

“We taught ourselves to simulate how microprocessors work using DEC computers so we could develop software even before our machine was built.”

“Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.”
