Hans Richter

Johannes Siegfried Richter (German: Johannes Siegfried Richter) or Hans Richter was a German painter, graphic artist, avant-garde film director and film theorist.

Hans Richter studied at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts, then at the Weimar Academy. He was close to the expressionist group Sturm, influenced by cubism. He had his first solo exhibition in Munich in 1916. From 1916 to 1918, he was a member of the "Dada" group in Zurich. In 1922, came to Berlin. Made several films, where he tried to convey rhythm and movement by abstract means. In 1933 the Nazis ransacked Richter's studio in Berlin, confiscating or destroying his work. He was stripped of his German citizenship and called a "degenerate" artist and a "cultural Bolshevik". In 1940 he moved to the United States. Taught film in New York, continued his film experiments.
