biography
From 1919 Breustedt studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar and dealt with the design principles of Paul Klee , Wassily Kandinskys and Lyonel Feininger . Instead of avant-garde originality, however, he strived for a harmonious synthesis between representation of the object and abstraction .
Most of his early work was lost in a bombing of Warsaw in 1939. In the further turmoil of the Second World War he came to Upper Austria , where he married the graphic artist Margret Bilger in 1953 . The couple lived and worked in a wooden house built in 1864 in Taufkirchen an der Pram (accessible as a museum since 2004). During this time he also became a member of the artists' association MAERZ .
Hans Joachim Breustedt died in Vevey on Lake Geneva in 1984 .
