Life

Albrecht Bruck started training as a cartographic engraver in Berlin from 1890 to 1894 . This was followed by studies at the Berlin Art Academy with Hans Meyer , Paul Verfahren , Woldemar Friedrich and Philipp Funk and then with Eugen Bracht at the Dresden Art Academy . From around 1900 he worked as a painter and etcher in Berlin. During the First World War he worked as a cartographer in the General Staff . In 1935 he moved from Berlin to Teltow.

Albrecht Bruck's work was and still is mainly noticed through his very detailed, vedute- like etchings of landscapes and well-known buildings. He made these etchings based on his own and other models, such as those of Thomas Herbst . In addition to Berlin and the surrounding area of ​​Brandenburg, he also worked temporarily in Dresden and Hamburg, where he made the Hamburg etchings for Commeter's art dealer around 1906 .

Unfortunately, there is no evidence of Bruck's artistic activity during the GDR era . Most of the etchings listed in the following section were created between 1900 and 1940.
