Richard Winther

Richard Ludvig Philip Weibull Winther (July 23, 1926, Maribo, Denmark–August 30, 2007, Vindeby, [dk] Denmark) was a Danish artist.

He experimented with various techniques, including drawing, painting, photography, film, graphic printing, sculpture, and collage.

Richard Winther was a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where later he became a professor.

This work initially focused on a spontaneous-abstract style of painting but with time transformed into a geometric-abstract type of movement.

Subsequently, Winther experimented with some of the abstract characteristics of the De Stijl/Konkret Art movements, bringing those styles into parts of his work.

An example of this approach is illustrated by the pieces Winther generated on Wie, referring to the Danish neoclassical sculptor Johannes Wiedewelt.

Richard Winther was also involved in the movie The Wake directed by Michael Kvium and Christian Lemmerz[12] where he was the character St Patrick.

He was a member of the following groups: Arme og Ben,[13] Decembristerne,[1] Linien II, and Den Frie Udstilling.

The exhibition features some of the most striking works from the Ex-School's active period (1961–1969), along with later pieces by its representatives, including Per Kirkeby, Peter Louis-Jensen, Richard Winther, Bjørn Nørgaard, Poul Gernes, Roger Martyn Pring, Lene Adler Petersen, and John Davidsen.
