Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Brender à Brandis, G., 1942- : Gerard Brender à Brandis was born in Holland in 1942 and immigrated to Canada with his family in 1947. After some time spent in both British Columbia and Nova Scotia, he settled permanently in Stratford, Ontario. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from McMaster University, he went on through self-study to pursue the skills of wood engraving. Brender à Brandis is also known as a master bookwright who combines several arts, including topography, paper-making, printing and bookbinding in order to create limited-edition, hand-made books.

The artist has enjoyed one person exhibitions since 1965. His work may be found in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Library and Archives of Canada Rare Book collection, and the Toronto Library. A member of the Society of Wood Engravers of England and the American Society of Botanical Artists, Brender à Brandis has produced hundreds of drawings and watercolours, frequently based on the subject matter of gardens. The artist maintains a studio in Stratford, Ontario, where his limited edition prints may be found.
