Act
Brasch specialized in portraits, but also painted flower pictures, mountain and forest landscapes in clear forms and expressive colors. From his time in St. Blasien he began to paint primarily in watercolor. In the Third Reich, Brasch's work was defamed as " degenerate " and his pictures were confiscated. One of his characteristic works, which is also very effective in public, is the painting of the historic reception hall of the Orber train station from 1925/1926. In the large-scale painting on all four sides of the hall , the seasons , the Orber healing springs and the typical professions of the Orber citizens are symbolically represented.
