Landscape
1968
A postcard image of Düsseldorf serves as the unlikely canvas for Dieter Roth's layered intervention, where acrylic paint and chocolate converge to obscure and transform the familiar urban landscape beneath. True to Roth's fascination with perishable and unconventional materials, the incorporation of chocolate introduces an element of organic decay and sensory provocation into the work. The humble postcard format subverts traditional notions of landscape painting, turning a mass-produced tourist artifact into an intimate and materially complex artistic statement.
