Mustang Staffel 1964

Gerhard Richter's 1964 painting "Mustang Staffel" depicts a squadron of American P-51 Mustang fighter planes in formation. The painting's muted colors and blurred edges evoke the hazy atmosphere of flight, creating a sense of speed and motion. This painting is characteristic of Richter's photo-realist style, and the use of a blurred photographic image as a source for the painting adds an element of ambiguity to the artwork.
