About the Item

Richard Lindner Adults-Only, 1979 Offset lithograph poster Plate signature with date, right front Limite Edition of 500 (unnumbered) Frame Included: held in vintage 1970s metal period frame This is a rare vintage poster of Richard Lindner's exhibition from the 12 May 1979 to the 30 June 1979 at the Foundation Maeght in Paris, France. Measurements: Frame: 37.5 x 16.6 x 0.3 inches Poster: 37 x 15 inches Richard Lindner Biography: The life of the painter Richard Lindner, who was German by birth and American by adoption, is particularly relevant to his entire oeuvre. Born of a German Jewish father and an American mother, Lindner spent his youth in Nuremberg, Dürer’s city, and trained as an artist at the Kunstakademie in Munich. During his formative years he was particularly impressed by a visit to the collection of paintings by the mentally disturbed amassed by the psychiatrist and art historian Hans Prinzhorn at Heidelberg University. During 1927 and 1928 Lindner lived in Berlin, where he witnessed the development of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), a movement that left an indelible mark on all his subsequent paintings. In 1929 he returned to Munich, where he married his classmate Elisabeth Schülein and began to work as artistic director for the important firm of publishers Knorr & Hirth. When Hitler came to power, Lindner, like so many other German Jews, abandoned his home country and went to live in Paris, where he continued to work as a graphic designer until 1939. In 1941 Lindner emigrated to the United States and settled in New York, where he began to contribute illustrations to the magazines Fortune, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and soon became the most fashionable graphic designer. Despite being granted American nationality in 1948, Lindner never felt fully American, though he did consider himself a New Yorker. It was precisely in New York where he took up painting comparatively late in life, in 1952. The free and cosmopolitan lifestyle of the legendary American city awakened his artistic talent and the subjects of his paintings — gangsters, prostitutes or people from the theatre, circus or music hall — were inspired by the underworld around Times Square or taken from American mass culture. At a time when Abstract Expressionism was all the rage, Lindner’s painting went against the current and always kept its distance. His pictorial language of vibrant colours and broad planes of colour and his urban themes make him a forerunner of American Pop Art. At the same time, he owes the critical tone of his paintings to the influence of European art movements such as Neue Sachlichkeit and Dada. His first exhibition did not take place until 1954, by which time he was over fifty, and, interestingly, it was held at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, a venue associated with the American Expressionists. He remarried in 1969; his second wife Denise Kopelman was a young French art student. Shortly afterwards the Lindners began to spend half the year in Paris. He started to earn recognition for his work in the 1970s.

Vintage Modern Lithograph Poster 1960s Pop Art Mod Figure
By Richard Lindner
Located in Surfside, FL
Vintage 1960's Lithograph poster for Vancouver Canada art show. Richard Lindner was born in Hamburg, Germany. In 1905 the family moved to Nuremberg, where Lindners mother was owner of a custom-fitting corset business and Richard Lindner grew up and studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (Arts and Crafts School since 1940 Academy of Fine Arts). From 1924 to 1927 he lived in Munich and studied there from 1925 at the Kunstakademie. In 1927 he moved to Berlin and stayed there until 1928, when he returned to Munich to become art director of a publishing firm. He remained there until 1933, when he was forced to flee to Paris, where he became politically engaged, sought contact with French artists and earned his living as a commercial artist. He was interned when the war broke out in 1939 and later served in the French Army. In 1941 he went to the United States and worked in New York City as an illustrator of books and magazines (Vogue, Fortune and Harper's Bazaar). He began painting seriously in 1952, holding his first one-man exhibit in 1954. His style blends a mechanistic cubism with personal images and haunting symbolism. LIndner maintained contact with the emigre community including New York artists and German emigrants (Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, Saul Steinberg). Though he became a United States citizen in 1948, Lindner considered himself a New Yorker, but not a true American. However, over the course of time, his continental circus women became New York City streetwalkers. New York police...
