Seascape (1968) by Gerhard Richter is a screenprint measuring 65 × 65 cm. Rendered in subtle gradients of blue and gray, the print captures the meeting of sea and sky in a disquieting equilibrium. The image appears photographic at first glance but reveals its painterly nature upon closer inspection, a hallmark of Richter’s approach to realism and illusion. The distant horizon dissolves into mist, emphasizing a sense of isolation and infinite space. This work exemplifies Richter’s exploration of perception and memory, echoing his fascination with how photographic imagery can shape emotional and visual experience.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
