Description and Table of Contents
Description
Published in conjunction with exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC and at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, this book includes illustrations of many of Lindner's oil paintings and watercolours. Particular emphasis is placed on the subject matter of his imagery as it developed from the late 1940s to shortly before his death in 1978. A consummate pictorial architect, the artist himself believed meaningful content to be of paramount importance. Rich in metaphor and symbolism, in literary and historical allusions, his work set him apart from the mainstream. Although best known for his striking images in intimidating women, Lindner constantly denied that his imagery was either erotic or mysogynistic in intent. This aspect of Lindner's artistic vision is examined. The book also contains a chronology of Lindner's life, and an exhibition history.
