'Ema - nude on a staircase', oil
on canvas, 1966,
130 x 200 cm (ca.51 x 79 ")
I have seen this painting in
Cologne, Germany
in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum / Museum Ludwig
and found it very impressive to stand in front
of a painting which appears from the distance
to be a photograph.
Only the closeness reveals Richter's perfection
in his painterly technique and also
not to show any evidence of any visible brushstroke.
