Adolf Richard Fleischmann

Adolf Richard Fleischmann (German, 1892–1968) was an important German abstract artist whose artistic development took place in Paris and New York. The 1920s saw him influenced by Cubism and Expressionism, but, in 1933, he was forced to emigrate, his work being labeled 'Degenerate.' Toward the end of the 1930s, his compositions built with elegant arabesques and curves, and he developed a rigid geometry as he painted his typical L-shaped forms.
