Meaning & Analysis
Landschaft II is a signed intaglio print by internationally acclaimed German painter Gerhard Richter. An example of the artist’s foray into the landscape genre, Landschaft II captures the diverse and constantly evolving nature of Richter’s oeuvre.
Rendered mostly in white, blue, and yellow, the landscape confronts the viewer with a vision of peaceful fields and hills, juxtaposed with the image of a bright sky. The serene landscape contrasts starkly with Richter’s monochrome paintings of the same period. The artwork captures how the experimentation with colours and mediums allows the artist to embrace a lively and buoyant visual language. The artist commented in this context: “‘I do not pursue any particular intentions, system, or direction. I do not have a programme, a style, a course to follow. I have brought not being interested in specialist problems, working themes, in variations towards mystery. I shy away from all restrictions, I do not know what I want, I am inconsistent, indifferent, passive; I like things that are indeterminate and boundless, and I like persistent uncertainty”.
