Egbert Bruckner

Painter, draftsman, graphic artist, stage designer.

Initially, he studied for three semesters at the Cologne School of Applied Arts (under Friedrich Ahlers-Hestermann), followed by six semesters at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.

Around 1940, Bruckner lived in Düsseldorf and worked as a painter (Kreuzstraße 54).

A large part of his work from that period was lost due to wartime destruction.

After the Second World War, he initially lived in Obergrainau (Garmisch-Partenkirchen district) and later moved to Munich (Hildegardstraße 5) to work as a painter and graphic artist.

from about 1950 onward, Bruckner's art became more abstract. Influences from M.C. Escher also became apparent, leading to surrealist depictions.
