Richard Larter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Larter (Born 1929 in London) is an Australian painter, often identified as a Pop artist. He was the husband of Pat Larter, a well-known painter and performance artist.
Larter emigrated to Australia in 1962. He took advantage of unusual techniques: using a syringe filled with paint to create his early works, and juxtaposing multiple images on his canvasses. Many of his paintings draw on popular culture for source materials, reproducing news photographs, film stills, and images from pornography.
