Bram Roth
The Hague 1916-1995
Roth studied sculpture with Bon Ingen-Housz and Albert Termote at the Royal Academy of Art in his own city and with Marino Marini.
Women and horses fascinated him. He worked naturalistically but left his own mark on the artwork. He was interested in spatiality, volume, tension and expression of the skin. Roth (1986) himself said: "My work, in which women and horses are the main themes, is naturalistic, but is not an imitation of nature... I play with the shape and proportions of my subject and in this way create a poetic spiritual translation of reality."
He worked as an independent sculptor and painter and was a member of the Hague Art Circle, Pulchri Studio, Verve, and the Cultural Council of South Holland. Roth is considered to belong to the new Hague School. In addition, he was a teacher at the Academy of Visual Arts and Technical Sciences in Rotterdam, where he taught Loek Bos and Tineke Nusink, among others.
His work can be seen in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and is included in the art collections of KPN, TPG Post and the Rijkscollectie.
