Van Velde was born in 1895 in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk. After his elementary school days, Van Velde joined the company of a house painter. He developed from house painter and decorator to painter of art. He settled in Worpswede, Germany, in 1922 and then, starting in 1925, worked in Paris, where his brother Geer van Velde joined him for some time, and on the French island of Corsica. In the 1930s in Paris, the brothers met the Irish writer Samuel Beckett, who published about both artists. This contact, which intensified after World War II, generated interest in their work and they were invited to exhibitions, first in Paris and later in New York and elsewhere. Works by Van Velde can be found in museum collections in England, France, the Netherlands, the United States and Switzerland.
Van Velde died in 1981 at the age of 86 in Grimaud, France.
Bram van Velde's later work is sometimes regarded as lyrical abstraction, in which he built up non-figurative compositions by juxtaposing fields of color with contour lines. Initially he still incorporated figurative elements into his work, which still seemed to refer to the expressionism of members of the Worpswede artists' colony, where Van Velde stayed for a short time. But unlike the artists of CoBrA, no figurative elements or references to figuration are discernible in Bram van Velde's paintings from the 1950s onward. His compositions, which he also regularly realized in gouache or in the form of lithographs, have no titles and are then merely composed of flat surfaces and shapes in colors. Appreciation for his work came relatively late and important museum presentations of his work in Europe and the United States followed only from the late 1950s: Bern (1958), Amsterdam (1959), Paris (1961 and 1970).
