Hans Richter -The Rhythm of the Avant-Garde
Museo d’Arte Lugano, 31 August – 23 November, 2014

One of the main representatives of the last century’s avant-garde, Hans Richter applied his talent and creativity to a seemingly infinite variety of fields: from painting to drawing, cinema to writing, publishing to teaching, always tenaciously fighting to firmly establish the values of the modernist revolution which indelibly marked the first half of the Twentieth Century.
The exhibition has been organised by Los Angeles’ County Museum and Metz’s Centre Pompidou, in collaboration with Lugano’s Museo d’Arte.
