Artist, German, 1927 - 2011

The image shows an urban landscape with ground-level view looking up towards rooftops of brick buildings. The horizon is formed by tall, dark chimney stacks and vents against the night sky. The photo has a grainy texture, likely in black-and-white, creating a vintage aesthetic. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of gray and black for a high-contrast effect. Signs of wear are visible on the buildings, with minimal light coming from small windows in the distance. A tilted sign is attached to a building wall in the lower part of the image.
