Vogelfluglinie 1967

Gerhard Richter’s 1967 painting "Vogelfluglinie" is a prime example of his blurred photo-painting technique. The piece depicts a ship, likely a ferry, with a hazy, atmospheric quality. The subject is barely discernible, contributing to the work's overall ambiguity and leaving the viewer with a sense of uncertainty. Richter's signature blurring technique captures the fleeting nature of memory and time, questioning the reliability of perception and the reality of the world around us. "Vogelfluglinie" is a captivating example of the artist's exploration of abstraction and the blurred lines between photography and painting.
