Abstract
What kind of role can Gerhard Richter's "abstract painting" play in art education? In contemporary art, which advertised the end of painting, Richter was a suddenly appearing maverick. But he became an artist who symbolized the present age through his unique working style that enumerated the methods of past modernist works like an encyclopedia. This study explores the concept that lurks in the depths of the broad expression of his various styles, and demonstrates what kind of meaning it brings to present art education. Through high school lessons, it is made apparent that his paintings effectively facilitate experiential understanding of abstract representation, along with the possibility of subject matter development leading to an understanding of the overall technique and the attitudes of abstract art; it also proves that his works have potential for further educational extension.
