Hans Richter

Born in 1888.

Died in 1976.

Hans Richter was a German artist recognised for his versatility as a painter, draughtsman, pioneer of film and publicist. He was an active member of the Dada movement in Zurich between 1916 and 1919, a period during which he contributed to the emergence of this artistic avant-garde. From 1958 onwards, he settled in Ticino, Switzerland, where he continued to develop his oeuvre.

His career bears witness to a rich interaction between the visual arts and film, establishing his name in the history of modern art.
