Hans Richter

"Hans Richter was a central figure in the avant-garde for more than 50 years. This book examines the ways in which these "encounters"--to use Richter's own term--with other artists engendered creativity, originality, and meaning throughout his career. Including a chronology and Richter's first complete filmography in English, this volume sheds light on the relationships between modernism's most experimental artists, movements, and generations. Author, Timothy O. Benson with Contributions by Doris Berger, Edward Dimendberg, Philippe-alain Michaud, Michael White, and Yvonne Zimmermann"--
