  • Biography from Jeschke Jádi

    Herbert Kuron was born in Wroclaw in 1930 and spent his formative youth there before he was forced to leave his homeland due to the turmoil of war. After the Second World War, when he regained a foothold in Germany, the memory of Wroclaw remained alive in many of his works. His paintings and prints often show a connection to his lost homeland - be it through atmospheric cityscapes or through a certain melancholy reflected in his color compositions. Kuron's artistic expression was thus not only shaped by personal experiences, but also by the confrontation with historical upheavals and loss of identity.
