Fuji 7 1996

Gerhard Richter's "Fuji 7" (1996) is an abstract painting that embodies the artist's signature "overpainted photograph" style. Utilizing layers of oil paint, Richter creates a blurred and ethereal landscape, evoking a sense of memory and ambiguity. The vibrant colors, including streaks of red, pink, and green, suggest a fading, abstract landscape with a sense of depth and atmosphere. The work's title may refer to the iconic Japanese mountain, adding a personal touch and creating a dialogue between the abstract forms and the real world.
