Americanist art historian and director of the Detroit Institute of Art, 1945-1962. Richardson was the son of George Lynde Richardson and Grace Belcher (Richardson). He graduated from Williams College cum laude in 1925, studying further at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts between 1925-1928. In 1930 he joined the Detroit Institute of Art in its education department. He married Constance Coleman the following year. Richardson was appointed assistant director of the Institute in 1933, effectively running the institution while its director, William R. Valentiner (q.v.), lived in his native Germany. He joined the Art Quarterly as its editor in 1938 (remaining until 1967). His first book, The Way of Western Art, appeared in 1939. He followed this by American Romantic Painting in 1944. In 1945 Richardson succeeded Valentiner as director. (English)
