'''Friedrich Wilhelm Brandtner''' (born 1896), known during his life as Fritz Brandtner, emigrated to [[Canada]] from [[Germany]] in 1928. Following a short stay in [[Winnipeg]] he settled in [[Montreal]] in 1934. A prolific artist and thinker, he actively participated in the cultural life of Canada. He was also a passionate art-educator, teaching classes with Canadian painter Marian Scott. Brandtner introduced notions of the German Expressionists to Canada, especially the works of [[Bauhaus]] and [[abstractionism]]. Brandtner was a close friend of Montreal art dealer Paul Kastel of the Kastel Gallery. Kastel was named the executor of the Brandtner estate, and Kastel continued to promote Brandtner's work over the following four decades. Brandtner died in 1969. |
