“Confrontation No.671 2,” created by Gerhard Richter in 1988, is an evocative piece that belongs to the figurative genre and is part of the “18. Oktober 1977 (1988)” series. This artwork is associated with the New European Painting movement.
The artwork presents a blurred, monochromatic figure of a woman. The hazy and indistinct outlines emphasize a sense of mystery and ambiguity. The woman’s visage is soft, and her expression appears to be calm yet enigmatic. The dim background further accentuates the ethereal quality, immersing the viewer in contemplation about the subject’s identity and emotions. The overall composition illustrates Richter’s masterful technique in creating profound and reflective art that transcends conventional representation.
