LOHSE, RICHARD PAUL
* 13.9.1902 Zurich, † 16.9.1988 Zurich
The Zurich artist Richard Paul Lohse lived from 1902 to 1988. Along with Max Bill and Gottfried Honegger, he is one of the main exponents of Swiss Concrete Art. The possibility of repeating forms and elements mechanically, is one of the features of this period. As a painter, Lohse was self-taught and initially turned to the Cubist and Expressionist masters. In the 1920s and the beginning of the 30s, his works were still mostly late Cubist style landscapes and still lifes. Only in the late 30s did his formal language of lines and curves in his pictures of birds in flight become more energised and more geometric, before he then in the 1940s found his definitive painting style in Concrete Art.
In 1937 Lohse founded the "Allianz, Vereinigung moderner Schweizer Künstler" (Alliance, an association of Swiss modern artists) with Leo Leuppi. The following year he organised the London exhibition "20th Century German Art". In the 1940s he enjoyed success with his painting and in 1961 his works were exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Ten years later Lohse received the Sikkens prize, represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennale and in 1973 was awarded the Art Prize of the City of Zurich.
