Schreitende (Striding) 1989

"Schreitende (Striding)" is a 1989 artwork by Michael Morgner. The artwork depicts a white outlined figure striding forward, seemingly emerging from a swirling black and grey abstract background. The figure is partially obscured by dark splatter, adding to the mysterious and energetic quality of the work. Morgner's use of contrasting light and dark areas creates a sense of depth and movement, making the piece both visually striking and intellectually stimulating. The artwork is a quintessential example of Morgner's abstract expressionist style, in which figuration and gesture merge to create a powerful and dynamic visual experience.
