Herman Brood - 'Ray Charles' (framed)

Offset lithograph by Herman Brood "Ray Charles", beautifully framed This series was commissioned by Hans van Breukhoven and published with permission from Herman Brood and his management. It concerns a lithograph art print. Herman Brood was a legend in himself. As a singer, pianist, actor and poet he became a phenomenon in Dutch culture. In addition, he was a drug addict, according to himself the 'national cuddle junkie' and he was known as the Dutch embodiment of the hedonistic creed 'Sex, drugs & rock 'n roll'. But he was also an artist: Everyone knows them, the paintings of Herman Brood. Herman Brood (1946 2001) often painted in the tradition of the Cobra: on a large format and with bright colours. The choice of primary colours was largely due to necessity, because he was colour blind. In addition, letters were often applied to his work with black paint and his signature 'brood' is a recognisable part of the painting. In 1993 Brood produced the Pop series, in which world-famous jazz and pop legends were created by Herman Brood in his own characteristic way.
