About the Item

A modern lithograph in colors on paper titled "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui" by Richard Linder. Published in 1968. Hand signed in pencil with an annotation of 33/500. From a private collection. Dimensions: 34.5"h x 24.5"w x 1"d (framed). In very good condition. A bold and theatrical composition, this limited edition lithograph captures the artist’s signature blend of figuration and abstraction with stylized, angular forms and saturated colors. The work portrays a sharply dressed figure in trench coat and hat—part gangster, part performer—set against a deep violet background. Combining elements of Pop Art, German Expressionism, and Surrealism, the piece reflects Lindner’s fascination with urban life, fashion, and the psychology of power. Created as a poster design for Bertolt Brecht’s play of the same name, this 1968 lithograph exemplifies Lindner’s graphic precision and vibrant palette. Richard Linder (1901-1978) was an illustrator for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. His style blends together expressionism, surrealist fantasy, and cubism. Common subject matters are streetwalkers, circus women, and men in uniform. A re-occurring theme is Berlin's cabaret culture of the 1930s. As a fun fact, Richard Lindner appeared in the second row on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover.

Offset Lithograph Poster Resistible Rise of Arturo, Bertold Brecht 1968 Pop Art
By Richard Lindner
Located in Surfside, FL
Plate signed and dated, offset lithograph. Richard Lindner was born in Hamburg, Germany. In 1905 the family moved to Nuremberg, where Lindners mother was owner of a custom-fitting corset business and Richard Lindner grew up and studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (Arts and Crafts School since 1940 Academy of Fine Arts). From 1924 to 1927 he lived in Munich and studied there from 1925 at the Kunstakademie. In 1927 he moved to Berlin and stayed there until 1928, when he returned to Munich to become art director of a publishing firm. He remained there until 1933, when he was forced to flee to Paris, where he became politically engaged, sought contact with French artists and earned his living as a commercial artist. He was interned when the war broke out in 1939 and later served in the French Army. In 1941 he went to the United States and worked in New York City as an illustrator of books and magazines (Vogue, Fortune and Harper's Bazaar). He began painting seriously in 1952, holding his first one-man exhibit in 1954. His style blends a mechanistic cubism with personal images and haunting symbolism. LIndner maintained contact with the emigre community including New York artists and German emigrants (Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, Saul Steinberg). 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...
