About Richard Larter
- Richard Larter (19 May 1929 – 25 July 2014) was an Australian painter, often identified as one of Australia's few highly recognisable pop artists.
- Larter also frequently painted in a Pointillist style.
- He took advantage of unusual techniques with painting: using a syringe filled with paint to create his early works, and juxtaposing multiple images on to a canvas.
- Many of his works are brightly coloured and draw on popular culture for source materials, reproducing news photographs, film stills, and images from pornography.
- He was married to Pat Larter, an artist who was involved in the Mail art movement, then performance art and finally painting in a brightly coloured style similar to Richard's.
- The Larters emigrated to Australia in 1962.
- Richard Larter's pop art was less ironic than his American and English counterparts.
- In this Larter is similar to other noted Australian pop artists, such as, Mike Brown and Martin Sharp.
