Stadtbild 1968

Gerhard Richter's "Stadtbild" (1968) is an abstract painting characterized by thick brushstrokes of black, white, and grey. The composition evokes a sense of urban landscapes with its geometric shapes and contrasting tones, reflecting Richter's exploration of abstraction and his fascination with the complexities of the modern world. The painting exemplifies his distinct style, known as "Photo-Realism" or "Capitalist Realism," where he utilizes abstract elements to create a sense of reality.
