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 his life, with dedication, quickly and without making concessions. He was an admirer/follower of the Cobra movement and of Lucebert in particular and this is especially reflected in his drawings, which, just like Lucebert, 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 moulds. His work always has a large and clearly visible signature. This signature is really part of the work.
Herman Brood worked in his studio in Amsterdam, but also outside his studio. He is known for his many drawings on beer mats and sketch sheets, as well as works he made on canvas (vinyl) with a spray can.
In 2001, Brood died 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. Due to his lifestyle, music and art, Brood can be considered one of the best-known Dutch artists of our time.
Herman Brood's work is in many museum, corporate and private collections.
