Farbschlieren 1969

"Farbschlieren," created in 1969 by German artist Gerhard Richter, exemplifies the artist’s exploration of abstract painting. This work showcases Richter's signature style of using a squeegee to apply paint to the canvas, resulting in a textured, layered effect. The interplay of colors like pink, teal, and yellow, evokes a sense of fluidity and movement. Richter's abstract paintings, including this one, are often interpreted as reflections on the fleeting nature of perception, challenging viewers to engage with the work on a personal level.
