Biography
Richard Overstreet studied art history at the University of California, Berkeley. He earned a Master of Fine Arts and moved to Paris in 1960, where he became a journalist for Time Life.

From 1963 to 1967, he worked as a photographer, assistant to the producer Alexandre Mnouchkine and production assistant for United Artists, Paris. It was during these years that he worked with Joseph Mankiewicz, François Truffaut, Philippe de Broca and Louis Malle.

In 1968, he was first assistant director to John Huston, then to Anatole Litvak and Joseph Losey.

From 1975 onwards, he devoted himself entirely to painting and photography, and a number of exhibitions were devoted to his work :


 * Galerie Lambert Monet, Geneva, 1972, 1982 ;
 * Roy Boyd Gallery, Chicago and Los Angeles, 1983, 1984, 1986 ;

He met Leonor Fini when he was John Huston's first assistant on his film A Walk with Love and Death (1968), costumes by Leonor Fini. He became a close friend of the artist, and was heavily involved in promoting her work. He is the author of the photographs in the book Miroir des chats (first edition 1977, second edition 2008). He has also collaborated on four retrospective exhibitions and made it possible to reconstitute Leonor Fini's famous salon as part of a permanent exhibition of the artist's work at the Musée de l'Hospice Saint-Roch in Issoudun. He regularly curates exhibitions at the Galerie Minsky in Paris. He is co-author (with Neil Zukerman) of Leonor Fini Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Scheidegger and Spiess, Zurich, 2021.
