A cross-disciplinary conversation between the world's greatest living painter and a German physicist across two decades In July 2000, an article appeared in the daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung with the title "First look inside an atom" and a blurry illustration of the electron clouds of an atom. The article fascinated the painter Gerhard Richter (born 1932) so much that he used it as a template for his edition First View (2000) . Richter was also interested in how physicists image such small objects, and this led to contact between him and Franz J.
