About this work

You see an old photo of a big Paris building. Black paint and scratches cover parts of it. The marks look rough but calm. Rainer often worked this way. He’d take photos or prints and cover them with paint or scratches. His goal? To hide the original image slowly. The chaos softens into quiet. Try looking up Rainer, Arnulf (1929).
