Albin Brunovsky was born on Christmas Day 25 December 1935 in Zohor, Czechoslovakia. Brunovsky’s early artistic career began with stage set and poster design. From 1955 to 1961 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava under Professor Vincent Hložník. The Hloznik School is known for its high artistic and technical preparation and humanistic perspective in graphic arts. For the founder and many of his students, Goya’s great graphic loops “The Terror of War” as a pattern or model. Brunovsky himself taught at the academy from 1966 to 1990. In 1981 he was appointed professor and a few years later founded his own engraving school. Brunovsky’s work often reflects the work of the modern movement, citation art. Brunovský was also the designer of the last series of Czechoslovak banknotes. His illustrations are mainly used in children’s books.
During his career Brunovsky experimented with various graphic techniques and was heavily influenced by poetry and literature, and of course, by other artists on his subjects. While in school, he used the techniques of woodcuts and linocuts. Before long, however, he began experimenting with “scrapers” and chalk lithography. Etching was a characteristic pattern in his mid-1960s graphic art work. However, he was also a painter. Many of his illustrations were painted in watercolor, and he eventually began to paint major works.
As his mastery of various techniques has developed over time, so has his vision as an artist. As a young man, Brunovsky displayed surrealist tendencies – defined as individualistic and absurd tendencies and unrestrained play of the subconscious. Later, his work became more evaluative and critical of man’s relationship with himself and society.
quote
I have such a creative plan that drives me to work. My pictures are just doing what they want. Sometimes I don’t want to work. But when I came to my studio, I noticed that one piece was not ready and the other was hopeless, I walked up to them and sat for a while, suddenly realizing it was night. Every morning I allow myself to be happily abused by my paintings that make me dream. (Albin Brunovsky)
