Bruno Bruni senior is an Italian-born German lithographer, graphic artist, painter and sculptor. He became commercially successful in the 1970s. In 1977, he won the International Senefeld Competition for Lithography. He has since become one of the most successful Italian artists in Germany and one of Germany's best known lithographers.
Hanns Theodor Flemming was a famous German art historian and art critic. Flemming was raised in a home where art was truly appreciated. His father Max Leon Flemmig, who grew up in the Rhineland area, was a patron of the arts and collector whose collection included works by Picasso, Chagall, Marc, Macke and Kandinsky.
Flemmings sister Evelinde Manon became a well-known photographer. Hanns Theodor Flemming studied art history, archeology and English at the universities in Munich, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Oxford. In 1945, he began working as an editor for the broadcast station Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) in Hamburg.
Flemming worked as an art critic for the German daily newspaper Die Welt since 1946. He was affiliated with the paper for decades and may have written well over 6,000 articles, as well as exhibition reports for numerous national and international art publications. In 1951, he co-founded the German division of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) with Bruno E. Werner, Franz Roh, Will Grohmann and Carl Linfert.
Apart from his journalistic and scientific work, Flemming also worked as a lecturer from 1959 to 1981. He taught art history, initially at the National School of Fashion and later at the Department of Design at the Technical College Hamburg. He published books about Ewald Matar?, Henry Moore, Otto Mueller and Bruno Bruni.
"All the works of Bruno Bruni are characterized by a distinctive charm. They unfold in a half-world of dream and reality, perception and fantasy, intuition and perfection--images full of erotic dreams and artificial paradises. Here, fragility is vitally linked with sensualism, tenderness and elan. A new interpretation of beauty - as a surreal appearance - occurs in the art of Bruno Bruni..."
With over 150 illustrations of Bruni's paintings, lithographs, pencil drawings and sculpture most in colour.
Book size: over 12" - 15" tall. 159 pages. Lavishly illustrated with black & white and colour artwork throughout.
