1920

They had twin sons, Bruno and Rupert.

1923

Richard Arthur Wollheim (5 May 1923 − 4 November 2003) was a British philosopher noted for original work on mind and emotions, especially as related to the visual arts, specifically, painting.

1941

He attended Westminster School, London, and Balliol College, Oxford (1941–2, 1945–8), interrupted by active military service in World War II.

1949

1962

In 1962, he published an article "A paradox in the theory of democracy", in which Wollheim argued that a supporter of democracy faces a contradiction when he votes.

On the one hand he wants a particular party or candidate to win, but on the other hand he wants whoever wins the most votes to win.

This has become known as Wollheim's paradox.

His Art and its Objects was one of the twentieth century's most influential texts on philosophical aesthetics in English.

1965

In a 1965 essay, 'Minimal Art', he seems to have coined the phrase, although its meaning eventually drifted from his.

As well as for his work on the philosophy of art, Wollheim was known for his philosophical treatments of depth psychology, especially Sigmund Freud's. His posthumously-published autobiography of youth, Germs: A Memoir of Childhood, with complementary essays, discloses a good deal about his family background and his life up to early manhood, providing valuable material for understanding his interests and sensibility.

1967

Their marriage was dissolved in 1967.

1969

Wollheim married Mary Day Lanier in 1969; their daughter is Emilia.
