Hubertus Hieronymus Brouwer was a Dutch painter, printmaker, glass, mosaic and ceramic artist. In 1943 he came to Ochtrup, a small town near the border in Münsterland, to work as a ceramic painter in the Ostkotte pottery. His first public commission in 1949 was a mural for the meeting room of the former district house in Beckum. In 1951 he took part in an exhibition of the Münster artists' community Schanze. Until now he had traditionally painted and drawn representational figures, portraits, flowers, landscapes, work scenes and scenes from the Bible, but around 1950 he increasingly broke away from physical representation. In his paintings and graphics, which were initially dominated by figurative motifs, idiosyncratic flowing, angled and bundled lines began to appear. This style found its way into his stained glass windows and mosaic work of the 1950s and early 1960s. Towards the mid-1960s, representational references reappeared in his abstract paintings and graphics, but in the style of surrealism - landscapes, hovering animals, a divided fruit, mouths, various folds and bulges, body parts of animals.
