The artwork titled “Colour Streaks” by Gerhard Richter, created in 1968, exemplifies the Abstract Expressionism art movement. It is an oil painting on canvas, with dimensions of 60 by 40 cm, and is currently housed at the Konrad Fischer Galerie in Düsseldorf, Germany. The genre of the artwork is abstract.
In “Colour Streaks,” sweeping, gestural strokes of paint intertwine and overlap, creating a dynamic composition. The brushstrokes appear deliberate yet free, embodying the essence of Abstract Expressionism with their emphasis on spontaneity and the emotive capability of color and form. The use of a monochromatic palette enhances the focus on the texture and movement within the piece. The overall effect is a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, giving the viewer a sense of depth and fluidity.
