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.
