The artwork titled “Hanged” was created by Gerhard Richter in the year 1988. It belongs to the New European Painting art movement and is classified under the figurative genre. This piece is part of Richter’s series “18. Oktober 1977 (1988)”.
The artwork presents a blurred depiction, invoking ambiguity and emotional depth. The central figure appears indistinct, with soft, blended edges that dissolve into the surrounding space. The use of grayscale tones enhances the somber and contemplative mood, compelling viewers to reflect on the underlying narrative and emotions conveyed through this hazy, evocative scene. The indistinct setting further intensifies the enigmatic quality of the piece, leaving much to personal interpretation and thought.
