Meaning & Analysis
Meer is a signed offset lithograph by internationally acclaimed painter Gerhard Richter. An example of the artist’s foray into the landscape genre, Meer captures the diverse and constantly evolving nature of Richter’s oeuvre.
The artwork confronts the viewer with an experimental vision, in which a surface of the sea seems to be reflected above the horizontal line, replacing the image of the sky. The two images of water appear to mirror one another, although their patterns and textures differ. Created in 1973, the artwork captures the bright and buoyant side of Richter’s creative practice before it moves in the direction of sombreness and monochrome a year later. The artist commented in the context of his practice: “‘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”.
