About the Artist:
Bert Van Bork was a multifaceted artist, photographer, filmmaker, writer, and world traveler, known for his profound artistic contributions and connections with prominent 20th-century artists. A student of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, a key figure in the German Expressionist movement Die Brücke, Van Bork's work spanned numerous mediums, including drypoint etchings, woodcuts, drawings, and watercolors. His travels allowed him rare access to Native American villages in the Southwest, inspiring many of his landscape and cultural works.
Born in Augustusburg, Saxony, Germany, Van Bork won a prestigious statewide competition at age 15 to study at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin. There, he studied under Schmidt-Rottluff and later at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. After WWII, he became an influential figure in the Berlin art scene, with one of his woodcuts, Witwe (Widow), featured on the poster for the Kunstamt Berlin-Mitte exhibition in 1949.
In 1954, Van Bork emigrated to the U.S., where he settled in Chicago and became a renowned artist and filmmaker. His documentary EYEWITNESS, the Legacy of Death Camp Art was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Documentary in 2000.
Van Bork’s works, often focused on war, urban life, and Native American settlements, are held in private, corporate, and museum collections worldwide, including the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin and Dresden and the Neue Sächsische Gallery in Chemnitz, Germany.
