Richard Lindner was an American German painter, excellent illustrator and graphic designer. His artistic method has received a special term, mechanical cubism. Grotesque and characteristic images are a mixture of stylized human bodies and mechanical details. Lindner brings to the fore the human body and the possibilities of its transformation in his artworks. The artists representation of the body and physicality is built not only by rethinking images and motifs from the past, but also by presenting the metropolis and its inhabitants as a new bodily construct with feelings, emotions and moods. The special visual language and the artistic universe are made him an integral part of the world of Pop Art. European Graphic Art Prints, Art Posters, and Collectibles.
