Cityscape with Lovers

Date Made: 1978
Country: German Democratic Republic

Measurements: 73.5 cm x 83 cm; 28 15/16 in x 32 11/16 in

Large painting of a couple kissing in between a fence within a dense housing development. There are sharp antennas on top of every house. Neutral colors are used throughout the entire piece, blending the built and the natural and the biotic and the abiotic as one. The antennas and obscure figures in the windows evoke a sense of anonymous surveillance. The piece evokes the urban landscape as a desolate space, dominated by walls, where intimacy takes place only in the shadows.
