“People don’t know... That art [of mine]... was beyond a doubt, it was beyond a doubt, it was out of the world, it was out of this world.” —Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (1910-1983)

Introduction

By Rich Shapero

I first saw EVB's paintings in 2003. I found them mysterious and evocative, and full of energy. The more I looked at them, the more they expanded beyond the borders of the frame. They seemed to carry with them a complex history, as if they were glimpses of a world distant from our own. Many appeared to depict an event—on land, underwater, or in deep space—drawn from some alien cosmogony. The paintings were relatively inexpensive, so I purchased a few. A couple of years later, I purchased a few more. And a few more. I loved the places they took me and the power they had to stimulate my imagination. Finally, my enthusiasm for the paintings reached the point that I wanted to share them. So, in May, 2009, we launched von bruenchenhein.com.
