Green-Blue-Red 1993

Gerhard Richter's "Green-Blue-Red" (1993) is an abstract painting characterized by its bold, gestural application of color. The canvas is divided into three sections, each dominated by a single color: red, blue, and green. The colors are not applied in smooth, even layers but rather with a rough, almost chaotic, brushstroke that gives the work a sense of energy and movement. This exemplifies Richter's signature "abstrakt Bilder," which he began in the 1980s. These abstract paintings are characterized by their spontaneous nature, the artist applying paint in a free and impulsive way, which evokes a sense of the immediacy of the creative act.
