Understanding Abstraction: Richard Schur, an abstract painter and former assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich talks about his art and his personal approach on how to look at abstract paintings. 

Talking about abstraction for him means trying to talk about something that lies beyond words.

Contemporary Abstraction in his opinion is best understood in an art historical context. Here he is referring to early Modernism, the writings of Piet Mondrian as well as concepts of Post Painterly Abstraction, described by Clement Greenberg.

Richard Schur’s work can be found in museums, public and private collections worldwide including Pinakothek der Moderne (Germany); Guangdong Museum of Art (China); CCA, Centro Cultural Andraxt (Spain); CAAM, Centro Atlàntico de Arte Moderno, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain); Agnes Gund Collection (USA); BMW Group art collection and Allianz art collection.
