Townscape 1968 2 — Fine Art

Townscape 1968 2 shows a city scene built from soft grey bands and thin lines.

The buildings lose their sharp edges as if seen through fog or a blurred photograph. Gerhard Richter often worked from photographs and painted with a squeegee or brush to blur the picture surface.

The white frame gives the picture a clean border and keeps the grey tones from spreading past the edge. You can hang this fine art print above the stairs where the morning light comes in sideways and makes the pale bands stand out.
