Before the Revolution
America began, we are often told, with the Founding Fathers, the men who waged a revolution and created a unique place called the United States. We may acknowledge the early Jamestown and Puritan colonists and mourn the dispossession of Native Americans, but we rarely grapple with the complexity of the nation's pre-revolutionary past. In this pathbreaking revision, Daniel Richter shows that the United States has a much deeper history than is apparentÑthat far from beginning with a clean slate, it is a nation with multiple pasts that stretch back as far as the Middle Ages, pasts whose legacies continue to shape the present. Exploring a vast range of original sources, Before the Revolution sp...
Facing East from Indian Country
In the beginning, North America was Indian country. But only in the beginning. After the opening act of the great national drama, Native Americans yielded to the westward rush of European settlers. Or so the story usually goes. Yet, for three centuries after Columbus, Native people controlled most of eastern North America and profoundly shaped its destiny. In Facing East from Indian Country, Daniel K. Richter keeps Native people center-stage throughout the story of the origins of the United States. Viewed from Indian country, the sixteenth century was an era in which Native people discovered Europeans and struggled to make sense of a new world. Well into the seventeenth century, the most pro...
The Ordeal of the Longhouse
Richter examines a wide range of primary documents to survey the responses of the peoples of the Iroquois League--the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tuscaroras--to the challenges of the European colonialization of North America. He demonstrates that by the early eighteenth century a series of creative adaptations in politics and diplomacy allowed the peoples of the Longhouse to preserve their cultural autonomy in a land now dominated by foreign powers.
Daniel Richter - Lonely Old Slogans
The German artist Daniel Richter (b. 1962) Daniel Richter arrived on the art scene in the 1990s with a highly expressive abstract formal idiom that evoked associations with his earliest artistic career as a designer of for instance album covers for a number of punk rock bands in Germany of the 1980s. Since the years around the turn of the century, however, Richter has exclusively painted figurative pictures, often described ? also by himself ? as a kind of new history painting. But they lack any reproduction of the specific historical events; the pictures seek rather to capture a particular contemporary spirit, marked by the death of the great political utopias. Richter?s paintings are both thematically and formally related to German Expressionism and painters such as Max Beckmann (1884-1950) and George Grosz (1893-1959), who in the years before World War II painted acerbic, humorous and profoundly socially critical, allegorical pictures. Daniel Richter takes a similar approach to painting, which according to him is always ideologically positioned in relation to the surrounding world.00Exhibition: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (08.09.2016-08.01.2017).

Daniel Richter
While German painting of the postwar period essentially concerned itself with coming to terms with the past and presenting it in gestures ranging from the heroic to the ironic, Daniel Richter focuses on positioning himself in the present. Time and again he devises new ways of being "modern" in a medium that has long been labeled old-fashioned and anachronistic. His pictures consistently challenge the spectator by their painterly and contextually excessive demands, but they do not lecture on moral issues. In five chapters featuring more than 200 examples of his works, the author Eva Meyer-Hermann traces the chronological development of Richter?s artistic output for the first time. The turns f...
Chromos goo bugly
Die Galerie im Taxispalais zeigt die erste österreichische Überblicksausstellung des Malers Daniel Richter (*1962 in Eutin), der zu den wichtigsten deutschen Künstlern seiner Generation zählt. Richters Werk spiegelt nicht nur den fundamentalen Wandel wider, den das Medium Malerei erfahren hat, seine Bilder bestechen auch durch ihre sinnlich wie intellektuell anspielungsreichen, verschlungenen Interpretationen und Analysen von Kunst und Gesellschaft. Die WerkƯschau präsentiert Daniel Richters künstlerisches Schaffen seit der Jahrtausendwende und konzentriert sich damit auf seine figürlichen Werke. Unter den 23 in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler ausgewählten Bildern befinden sich Hauptwerke aus den vergangenen 14 Jahren ebenso wie neue Arbeiten, die hier erstmals gezeigt werden. Anhand wichtiger Meilensteine seiner künstlerischen Entwicklung spannt die Ausstellung den Bogen von Richters ersten figurativen Gemälden bis in die Gegenwart und veranschaulicht so dessen thematischen wie stilistischen Werdegang. 00Exhibition: Galerie im taxis palais, Innsbrück, Austria (1309-23.11.2014).
