Herman BROOD (Zwolle 1946 - Amsterdam 2001) Painter, musician, actor Education: Herman Brood went to the Academy of Visual Arts in Arnhem. Biography. Herman Brood, known as Rock 'n Roll Junkie, was an all-rounder. A great musical talent, a unique personality and a well-known artist. Herman Brood worked as an artist as he lived, full of dedication, quickly and without making concessions. He was an admirer/follower of the Cobra movement and of Lucebert in particular, and this is particularly reflected in his drawings, which, just like Lucebert's, are expressive and caricatured and often somewhat gloomy or cynical. Herman Brood often worked on large-format canvases with paint, spray can, (paint) marker and later also with molds. His work is always provided with a large and clearly present signature. This signature is really part of the work. Herman Brood worked in his Atelier in Amsterdam, but also a lot outside his Atelier. Known are the many drawings on beer mats and sketch sheets, but also works that he made on canvas (vinyl) with spray can. Brood died in 2001 after a fatal jump from the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. After his death, a first retrospective exhibition was organized in 2002 by the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen. In 2007 his studio was exhibited in the Groninger Museum. Bread has left an indelible impression in the Netherlands. Because of his lifestyle, music and art, Brood can be counted as one of the most famous Dutch artists of our time. Herman Brood's work can be found in many museum, corporate and private collections.
