Hans Richter
German animator Hans Richter (1888-1976) began as a Cubist painter in Berlin. With artists Tristan Tzara and Jean Arp, he helped establish Dadaism in Zurich in 1916. Working in Germany with Viking Eggeling in the 1920s, he produced the short films RHYTHM 21 (1921), RHYTHM 23 (1923) and RHYTHM 25 (1925), as well as FILM STUDY (1926) and GHOSTS BEFORE BREAKFAST (1928). In the late 1920s and 1930s, Richter turned to advertising and lecturing before settling in New York in the 1940s and producing live-action experimental films. Between 1942 and 1957, he served as director of the Film Institute of the City College of New York.
