Summary
Summary: Documentary and interview with artist-sculptor-filmmaker-surrealist Hans Richter. Richter talks about his career and early experiments with the movie camera, association with the world of surrealists, conflict with the National Socialists in Germany, the origins of Dada, and the evolution of his own style in painting, drawing and collage. Includes many film clips and examples of his graphic work and reminiscences of relationships with contemporary artists such as Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Duchamp, Darius Milhaud, Sergei Eisenstein, and Man Ray
