Rita Fischer's vertical landscapes at Xippas Paris
Rita Fischer returns to Xippas Paris for her second solo exhibition, featuring a new series of vertically formatted works. The artist continues to produce horizontal pieces but has recently experimented with vertical formats, intensifying visual ambiguity in relation to landscape painting tradition. The academic tradition, shaped by Nicolas Poussin, associates landscape with horizontality, yet emblematic vertical examples exist, such as Théodore Géricault's 1818 series 'Paysage au tombeau, le midi' and 'Paysage héroïque'. Fischer's works employ egg tempera on canvas or wooden panels and watercolor on paper.
