Brauck (Willem Brauckmann), 1946, emerged years ago from the anonymity that surrounds so many artists. He started his career in 1963 with a study at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam. An education that, as befits a good artist in the sixties, he did not complete. What he may have lacked in theoretical training, he more than made up for in years of practical experience, including in advertising and exhibition architecture. His illustrations have supported current affairs in newspapers and magazines for many years. Brauck carried out numerous honorable assignments, from television sets to enormous flower mosaics to add luster to an EC summit in the Kurhaus in Scheveningen. A hundred meter long mural for a recycling company and the marking of a tourist route commissioned by the Ministry of WVC. Many works were commissioned by the business community, such as lithographs and screen prints, and of course original works in various techniques and materials. Brauck has exhibited many times at galleries throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, France, USA and Russia. Many works are privately owned, but can also be found in corporate collections and other art collections. The Mayakovsky Museum in Moscow has included work by Brauck in its collection. Quote from the afterword of the book Brauck, visual artist by drs. Sophia M. Hazenberg: he does not like to talk about his work; it is not for nothing that he is a painter, not a writer. It is true that he writes, he describes what he experiences, but he does not interpret. That's what his paintings do. They are more than a representation of an event. A painting is the inner experience of it. Very recognizable. With his paintings, Brauck shows how he views life. He tries to make the viewer aware of the duality within today's society: the constructive on the one hand and the destructive on the other. Not coincidentally, Brauck was struck by Shostakovich's score. The graphic image of the handwriting greatly inspired him. In the notes scribbled down he saw a combination of an angry writing method and an inner nervousness. That appealed to him. Brauck takes a very socially critical view of life, and clearly shows this, but with an optimistic expression. After all, life is not just a total catastrophe! The energetic and expressive brushstrokes have clearly won out over a fundamentally pessimistic vision. They seem to symbolize the hope and desire for a better management and use of the world. The beautiful and radiant use of color wants to point the way to a better awareness of how beautiful our world can be.
