This piece is predominately, hence the name, consisting of a colour-scheme of different shades of green and blue, however one area in particular in this abstract painting could be viewed as more of a shade of yellow as opposed to green (a 'strip' across the upper third of the piece) which would back up the idea that art can and is often viewed as a lie as a more fitting name would include the note of almost black tones of green/blue and yellow. Due to its name, I think that this very interesting abstract painting could be very easily over looked as something quite basic, however to me it would appeared to be quite the opposite as I began to question as to how exactly it was created and what it's meaning, if any, is. I think that this piece would have been created with different layers of oil in the following ascending order: yellow, green, dark black and then a top layer of blue, although due to their different shades, I think that it first appears to the viewer as if the blue is the bottom layer as the black also acts almost as if it were a shadow of the green/yellow. This analogy also adds to the idea that art can be viewed as a lie, although in this case it would be evident, at least to me, that Richter is deliberately trying to not necessarily be dis-honest, but be a little bit manipulative of the truth, perhaps because he loathes reality.
A reoccurring pattern in this piece is the lack of a diagonal lining structure which could convey a sense of control and the lack of an unbalanced restlessness and energy. A lack of diagonal lines could also be used to not dramatise the painting even more than what the painter claims it to be; green and blue. However, one element of this piece could be viewed as diagonal, this being the yellow streak across the upper third. Also, the artist is also clearly obeying the rule of thirds, of which helps to give the piece a consistent visual structure .
