Signed Framed Richard Lindner Limited Edition Pillow and Almost Circle Lithograph

Excellent

A framed lithograph by the famed artist, Richard Lindner that is entitled "Pillow and Almost a Circle," is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. This piece features one of the "circus women/streetwalker" images that he has become well known for. The lithograph was printed in 1969 and is from an edition of 250.

Painter Richard Lindner's highly idiosyncratic work incorporates elements of his personal history, as well as literary associations. The element of introspection separates his work from pop art. He was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1901 to an American mother and a German father. In 1925, after a brief career as a concert pianist, Lindner entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Eventually, he became an art director for Knorr & Hirth, a publisher closely associated with the Nazis. There, Lindner met high-ranking Nazis, including Hitler. 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 uniforms replaced European military uniforms as symbols of authority. Lindner taught at the Pratt Institute from 1952 to 1965. He died in 1978.
