after completing an apprenticeship as a decorative painter in his father's business, hans brasch studied in karlsruhe at the school of applied arts from 1898 to 1900 and at the state academy of fine arts under ludwig schmid-reutte, friedrich fehr, and hans thoma, whose master student he was from 1904 to 1908. This was followed by study visits to paris and geneva with the famous swiss artist ferdinand hodler. In 1913, he took up residence in mannheim for a short time. He married emmy wiedersheim and moved to frankfurt am main. There he formed a studio community with august babberger and rudolf gudden in the lichtenstein house at römerberg 11.
he served in the first world war from 1914 to 1918. In 1920, brasch purchased an old black forest house in außerurberg (sankt blasien) to work there. His artist friends r. Gudden, r. Hoffmann, and a. Babberger each purchased a black forest house in the nearby hamlet of höll. From the mid-1920s onwards, his stay in the southern black forest, goethe's theory of colors, and anthroposophy increasingly influenced his artistic development. In 1930, he moved with his family to stuttgart.
brasch died at the age of 91 in murrhardt near stuttgart. His artistic estate is housed in the hans thoma art museum in bernau in the black forest.
brasch specialized in portraits, but also painted flowers, mountain and forest landscapes in clear forms and expressive colors. From his time in st. Blasien onwards, he began to paint mainly in watercolors. During the third reich, brasch's works were defamed as "degenerate" and his paintings were confiscated. The artist's artistic estate is housed in the hans thoma art museum in bernau in the black forest, which is showing an exhibition of his works from february to april 2023.
