William Steiger depicts the historical landscapes that are kept in our own memories. He utilizes the vintage postcard images and focuses in industrial objects of machines, water tower, amusement parks and transportation of ordinary days. He uses lines concisely and had divided the spaces, while painting and covering the canvas with new colors, he revived it to an independent image that is unrelated with the object functionality. 

Manfred Menz had elaborated the well-known landmarks with a distinctive way by remaining the natural elements while the surroundings are vanished. The Eiffel tower that had disappeared from Champ de Mars, the disappeared Hwangwonjung of the lake in Gyeong-bok palace, the vanished atomic bomb dome in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park which are the various scenes that could question the viewers such as ‘ What is the essential part?’ and ‘What are the parts that we cannot realize or see?’

The simple landscapes of the two artists have similarities to reveal the object of the empty space but on the other hand by using distinctive methods. While, Manfred Menz displays the existence by the absence of the object, William reveals the image and could naturally let the viewers consider of the absence of the objects.
