Kerze II 1989

"Kerze II" (1989) by German artist Gerhard Richter is an example of his signature abstract painting style. The artwork is a blurred, layered image, creating an almost photographic effect. It utilizes a muted color palette of black, white, and green, further emphasized by the brushstrokes, producing a sense of depth and texture. The painting exemplifies Richter's interest in exploring the boundaries between photography and painting, a key theme in his career. The abstract yet evocative composition invites the viewer to contemplate the interplay of light, shadow, and form.
