The Italian painter, lithographer and sculptor Bruno Bruni initially studied at the Instituto d’Arte in Pesaro. After stays in Florence and London, he came to the State Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in 1960. His teachers included Georg Gresko and Paul Wunderlich. Bruni became well-known in Germany as early as the 1970s. His works move in the field of tension between Italian artistic tradition and influences of surrealism and abstract expressionism. Bruno Bruni's paintings are characterized by their sensuality, elegance and fine lines and formed the foundation of his success.
