Influenced by Joseph Kosuth and the Conceptual movement, he is invited before graduating to present his work at the renowned avant-garde Galerie Denise René – Hans Mayer in 1969. He later studied free painting at the College of Art in Krefeld. Inspired by the work of the Dutch painter, he moved to Arles for almost a year, and then embarked a journey hitchhiking through Spain and North Africa. He remembers these years: “I preferred actively seeking out van Gogh’s inspirations, my idol, rather than painting the mandatory portraits and landscapes taught in Art schools…”. He worked as a window dresser for a local department store and enrolled the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts in the early 1960’s. Born in Lissa (Germany) in 1944, he spent his childhood in Duisburg (North Rhine-Westphalia). Known for his memorable cinematic images, Peter Lindbergh is recognised as one of the most influential contemporary photographers.
