Herbert Grünwaldt (1928 - 2014)

Herbert Grünwaldt

Herbert Grünwaldt is a German painter and graphic artist. He studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts.

Inspired by a particular sense of nature as well as observations on romantic genres and impressions of literature and music, an artistic journey from the naturalistic to the surrealist emerges. In this way his works mix clear observation and fantastic interpretation. 

Herbert Grunwaldt was also inspired by Scandinavian landscapes. His artistic sensitivity to maritime motifs is particularly evident in his depictions of ships. His work is characterised by an uncompromising clarity.
