Hans Richter: Encounters

We saw the exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Art and it's amazing how advanced Hans Richter was for his time. It's a distinctive Art Deco approach to film, noir, and painting. A good read on an interesting man.

This catalogue is an exciting addition to the show at LACMA. The essays are splendidly researched and each interesting in its own right. The included artwork give a good feel for the scope of the artist's interests and capabilities, which are quite wonderful.

ENCOUNTERS splendido catalogo della mostra al LACMA DI LOS ANGELES poi replicata al CENTRE POMPIDOU-METZ (La traversée du siècle) al GROPIUS BAU DI BERLINO (Begegnungen) al MUSEO d'arte di LUGANO (il ritmo dell'avanguardia) rende omaggio ad Hans Richter, figura di spicco dell'avanguardia storica, padre del cinema astratto che ha attraversato il 900 tra costruttivismo, dadaismo, surrealismo fianco a fianco con Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Alexander Calder , Max Ernst, Fernand Leger , Tristan Tzara, André Breton, Jean Hans Arp, Palma Bucarelli, Peggy Guggenheim tanto per citare solo alcuni nomi. Un gigante.

Sehr gutes Buch, Freude beim Anschaue und eine wertvolle Unterstützung bei den Recherchen zu einem bestimmten Thema. Imm er wieder gern
