About the Item
“Red Head” is a portrait that puts dynamic and powerful to shame. This woman from the 1970s at the height of the Feminist movement is an Amazon. Though you cannot see her body her powerful and determined gaze is that of an individual who knows where she is going and what she wants. Best if you get out of her way. Nonetheless, the aura she creates is hypnotizing and the viewer must struggle to break the spell or be absorbed into her presence. This spell-binding piece of Linder’s is unique in its ability to exude a physical push and pull upon its audience.
Richard Linder is a German-American artist who used bold colors and abstracted graphic designs in his figures losing softness or nuance for hard edged primary shapes. There is a similarity in approach and intent with two other German artists working around the same time, Max Beckmann and Marsden Hartley. Max Beckmann also loses nuance in his portraits that in turn gain psychological power by their overwhelming force of presence. In his 1914 -- 1915 German paintings, Marsden Hartley tended to bold colors and graphic abstraction. All three artist’s works have the visual and emotional impact that can only be described as a physical punch to the eye and psyche.
Claus Clement has said of Lindner that “The artistic universe of Richard Lindner is unique: he is highly genuine, he is full of urban energy, and he is driven by weird eroticism… He started his career as an artist eventually at the age of 40 in New York. In this metropolitan jungle Lindner created his oeuvre: exciting and powerful images of robot like figures, amazons and heroines, harlequins of self-styled heroes – his artistic panorama of the unruly 60s and 70s of the 20th century.”
From 1924 to 1927 Lindner lived in Munich and studied at the Kunstakademie. In 1927 he moved to Berlin returning to Munich in 1928 to become art director of a publishing firm. He remained in Munich until 1933, when he was forced to flee to Paris. Once in Paris, he became politically engaged, sought contact with French artists and earned his living as a commercial artist. He was interned when World War II broke out in 1939 and later served in the French Army.
In 1941, Lindner moved to the United States and worked in New York City as an illustrator of books and magazines. There he made contact with New York artists and German emigrants such as Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, and Saul Steinberg. In 1948, he became an American citizen.
Lindner started teaching at the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn in 1952 and received the William and Norma Copley Foundation Award in 1957. He became Guest Professor at the Hochschule fur bildende Kunste in Hamburg returning to Germany in 1965 to accept the post.
His paintings at this time used the sexual symbolism of advertising and investigated definitions of gender roles in the media. In 1967 he moved to Yale University School of Art and Architecture, New Haven, Connecticut.
His work is in both private and corporate collections and numerous art museums.

- Kiki Smith "Noon 2007" Engraving Portrait Musician Ryan BinghamBy Kiki SmithLocated in Detroit, MI" Noon 2007" Portrait of Musician Ryan Bingham engraving by Kiki Smith of a young man looking directly at the viewer. His look is not one of challenge, but more of a questioning nature. It is numbered on verso 28/33, and dated 2007. Kiki Smith (1954 - ) is a West German-born American artist. Her work encompasses many themes: sex, birth, regeneration and death along with personal investigation of her life and those of her family. Her figurative work of the late 1980s and early 1990s confronted subjects such as AIDS and gender. Her recent works have depicted the human condition in relationship to nature. Smith lives and works in New York City and the Hudson Valley, New York State. Her father was sculpture artist, Tony Smith and her mother was actress and opera singer Jane Lawrence. Although Kiki's work takes a very different form than that of her parents, early exposure to her father's process of making geometric sculptures allowed her to experience formal craftsmanship firsthand. Smith was enrolled at Hartford Art School in Connecticut for eighteen months from 1974 to 1975, then moved to New York City in 1976 and joined Collaborative Projects (Colab), an artist collective. The influence of this radical group's use of unconventional materials can be in seen in her work. For a short time in 1984, she studied to be an emergency medical technician and sculpted body parts, and by 1990, she began to craft human figures. In addition to print making Kiki Smith has created in a number of different mediums such as film, sculpture, tapestries, books and the confines of commissions. She experimented in a wide range of printmaking processes. Some of her earliest print works were screen-printed dresses, scarves and shirts, often with images of body parts. In association with Colab, Smith printed an array of posters in the early 1980s containing political statements or announcing Colab events. In 1988 she created "All Souls”, a fifteen-foot screen-print work featuring repetitive images of a fetus, an image Smith found in a Japanese anatomy book...Category
