Artist Studies 1602 : by Richard Lindner

ℹ️ Richard Lindner (1901-1978) was a German-American painter known for his bold and vibrant figurative works that blend elements of cubism, expressionism, and surrealism. Born on November 11, 1901, in Hamburg, Germany, Lindner's paintings often depicted enigmatic and exaggerated figures in urban settings, exploring themes of sexuality, alienation, and the human condition. He immigrated to the United States in 1941 to escape the rise of Nazism in Europe and became associated with the New York School of artists. Lindner's distinctive style, characterized by its vivid colors, flattened forms, and graphic compositions, earned him critical acclaim and established him as a leading figure in postwar American art.
