Richard Lindner (1901-1978)
Colour lithograph, signed, dated 1975 and numbered 148 of 175 in pencil to the margin.
Lindner was born in Hamburg, Germany and studied art in Munich and in Nuremberg before fleeing Germany with many others of Jewish descent in 1933. He worked in Paris as a commercial artist and then left for New York in 1941. In New York he worked as an illustrator for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar before devoting his energies full time to his artistic career in the 1960s
Lindner's work as a commercial artist deeply influenced his interests. He is known for exploring the sexual symbolism of advertising and, more generally, gender roles in popular media. His work has been described as "wierdly erotic".
Lindner's work is held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, among others.
