New York City.- Hirschl & Adler Modern is proud to present “The Paintings of Richard Lonsdale-Hands (1913-1969)” on view at the gallery from September 8th through October 8th. Born in England, Richard Lonsdale-Hands was a highly successful London-based industrial and package designer. After beginning his professional career as a designer on London’s Fleet Street, in 1937, at the age of twenty-four, Lonsdale-Hands broke out on his own, founding Richard Lonsdale-Hands Associates. Lonsdale-Hands’s company (later the Lonsdale Hands Organisation Ltd) subsequently became the largest European industrial design and market research firm of its time (he also acquired Greenly’s Ltd, a major London advertising agency, further expanding his empire.) Lonsdale-Hands was a leader in British design, and by his mid-30s was an internationally recognized captain of industry.
