The work of Willem Brauck (mann) (1946-2014) is recognizable for its composition and use of colour.
Brauck was a polymath. His socially critical view is reflected in the many illustrations that have been published in newspapers and magazines for years. In all his work he shows the struggle between the contradictory currents in society: constructive against destructive. The result: symbols of hope and desire for a better managed world.
This screen print therefore fits into Brauck's work because of the era and his view of it. It shows a GSM mast under construction, something that happened rapidly throughout the Netherlands and Europe at the end of the last century.

About the artist:
Willem Brauckmann (Vlaardingen, 1946 - 2014)
Brauck started his career in 1963 with a study at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam. An education which, as befits a good artist in the sixties, he did not complete. After many years of being active in the advertising and exhibition world, Brauck felt more inclined to devote himself entirely to art. He now lived in Harderwijk, with family, and started to devote himself completely to painting. In 1997 Brauck started a screen printing company where he made screen prints for himself and for other artists. Brauck's work is not only known in the immediate vicinity, but also nationally. Many a living room or office is graced by this artist's painting.
With his paintings Brauck shows how he views existence. 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. Brauck mainly painted landscapes. A predilection for the French landscape becomes apparent when you look at his paintings.
