AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original drawing “Claudia – 1997” by Herman Brood (1946–2001); signed, dated ’97, with authenticity certificate
Authentic, original drawing by the Dutch artist, musician and pop icon Herman Brood (Zaandam 1946 – Amsterdam 2001). The work was drawn on the spot by Brood in a café in Amsterdam; a typical example of his spontaneous, gestural method in which he often drew in cafés and on location.
About the work
An unmistakably Broodian scene: on the left a self-portrait of Herman with sunglasses and hands raised, dreaming and fantasizing about an affectionate kiss with Claudia; on the right, a blonde figure with a cigarette in hand. Between the two figures, fantasy is literally in the image: a small yellow-striped panel containing two kissing figures, like a film still of what is happening in Herman’s head. Above, the longing is expressed in Brood’s recognizable handwriting: “oh god, oh god, oh god” repeated several times. The work captures in a few sharp lines exactly that raw, romantic, and rock-'n-roll life feeling Brood was known for; longing, fantasy, and café romance in one spontaneous drawing.
Executed in mixed technique (marker and pastel) on paper, in Brood’s typical Pop Art style with warm earthy tones, bright yellows and oranges, and purple accents.
