The artwork titled “Seascape (Cloudy)” by Gerhard Richter, created in 1969, belongs to the New European Painting movement and falls under the figurative genre.
“Seascape (Cloudy)” depicts a vast ocean under a tumultuous sky, rich with thick clouds in varied shades of grey. The horizon is distant, and the meeting of sea and sky is subtly blurred, enhancing the atmospheric depth of the piece. The surface of the water is choppy, indicating a restless environment, while the overall color palette is muted, reinforcing the somber and contemplative mood of the scene. This artwork exemplifies Richter’s meticulous attention to detail and his capacity to evoke profound emotion through the portrayal of nature’s sublime yet stark beauty.
