    When you look at Richter’s Abstract Painting‚ you see the resemblance of a landscape that is portrayed within Altdorfer’s painting as well.

    Thesis statement: Whereas there is no proven connection‚ in my opinion the lone white Iris flower in the “Irises” painting represents the need for individuality in Gogh and even people in society‚ given that there is no other white iris flower like it in this powerful painting. In "Irises‚" there is a war being pursued: one of franticness competing with quietness.
