Abstract Bird |
Henry J. Dietrich (1918-2000) was born Heinz Otto Joseph Lewin in Berlin near Tiergarten. After a harrowing early life that included a pre-war flight to Shanghai, he settled in San Francisco in 1948 to create cartoons for the San Francisco Chronicle. During this time, he worked as an independent artist, showing and selling paintings in galleries all over the West Coast. By personal choice, however, Dietrich kept most of his creations in his own collection. By the time of his death, it’s estimated that he had created about 500 paintings, most of which survive today in private collections.
