Townscape 1968

Gerhard Richter's "Townscape" (1968) is an abstract painting executed in black, white and grey tones. The painting captures an aerial perspective of an urban landscape, with geometric forms and thick, visible brushstrokes that evoke the structure and density of a city. Richter's signature style of abstract painting often draws inspiration from reality, creating a bridge between figuration and abstraction, while his use of color and brushstrokes highlights the dynamic nature of his subject.
