бруно фойгт (1912 - 1988)
Bruno Voigt was a German political painter, draftsman and graphic artist. Bruno Voigt's work consists mainly of works on paper in ink and watercolor techniques. The first works were created around 1929; they address metropolitan cafés and street scenes as well as the emerging SA terror. After controls by the SA and the NSDAP, he moved to Ulrichshalbe in 1936 and renounced any direct political activity. The inconspicuous life in the village offered him a relative personal security. So his work was created in isolation, without the support of an art scene and unadvised by criticism or rejection. Voigt's works were shown publicly for the first time in the exhibition Revolution and Realism. The artist himself estimated his work from the beginning to the end of the war (1929-1945) at around 20 paintings, 30 etchings and around 500 drawings.
