Fuji 2 1996

Gerhard Richter's "Fuji 2" (1996) is an abstract oil painting that exemplifies the artist's signature "blur" technique. The painting, which appears to depict a hazy mountain range in the distance, was created by scraping away layers of oil paint with a squeegee. The result is a work that is both visually arresting and evocative, prompting viewers to contemplate the nature of perception and memory. This technique is common in his Abstract paintings and was also used to create his "Abstrakt Bilder" series, which are a core part of his artistic practice.
