The artwork titled “Schärzler” was created by Gerhard Richter in 1964. It belongs to the New European Painting art movement and falls under the figurative genre. This piece is part of Richter’s “Aeroplanes (1963-1964)” series.
The artwork predominantly displays a blurred, monochromatic depiction of an aeroplane, rendered with a sense of motion and abstraction. The background features a mix of shades from black to white, creating an almost ghostly, ethereal quality. Textual elements are integrated into the composition, adding a layer of contextual depth, with phrases and names visible around the central image. The combination of blurred imagery and textual content evokes a sense of historical documentation and artistic reinterpretation, characteristic of Gerhard Richter’s approach during this period.
