Gerhard Richter

PAPER FUJI (23 Oktober 1996)

1996

A delicate yet commanding depiction of Mount Fuji rendered in Richter's signature photorealistic style, where the iconic volcanic peak emerges through subtle gradations of muted tones on paper. The oil medium lends the work a quiet luminosity, capturing the mountain's majestic silhouette with restrained precision while evoking both its physical grandeur and its cultural symbolism. The intimate scale of paper as a support gives the work an immediacy and directness that distinguishes it from Richter's larger painted works.
