"Heu" (Hay) is an oil on canvas painting by German artist Gerhard Richter created in 1986, demonstrating his characteristic technique of applying paint with squeegees to create abstracted, blurred compositions. The work exemplifies Richter's exploration of chance and systematic processes, where gestural marks and layers of color interact to produce a dreamlike, ambiguous image that resists singular interpretation. Through its muted palette and soft focus, the painting embodies Richter's investigation of photorealism's opposite, creating an intentionally obscured visual field that questions representation itself.
