Meaning & Analysis

The artwork depicts a dog as it lies down on the ground against the background of plants and a building. The peaceful scene clashes with the mood of Richter’s later works, such as Grey Paintings, a series of canvases consisting exclusively of smooth, uninterrupted layers of grey oil paint, giving expression to Richter’s distrust in the possibility of knowing and representing reality.

As so often in Richter’s works, the technique of blurring has been employed in Hund, reflecting Richter’s desire to deconstruct traditional artistic methods. Richter commented on the function of the blurring technique: “I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information.”
