About the workThis coastal landscape has been stripped to its essence: the colours and shapes have been reduced to symbols. Yet still make the viewer long for a trip to the beach. The work of the American painter Merrill Wagner has only become known to a wider audience in recent years. This piece from 1966 expands the canon of international colour field painting, which forms a focal point in the collection of the Kunstpalast. With this evocative depiction of nature, the artist continues the great tradition of American landscape painting in the twentieth century.
