VG Braun-Dusemond
Valentin Gerhard Braun-Dusemond (1919, Cologne, Germany-1998, Taunton, Somerset, England) was a painter and art dealer in East Africa and Malta. He was an Abstract Expressionist in Africa and a Landscape Impressionist in Malta.
Braun-Dusemond was born Gerhard Braun to Jewish parents in Germany. His escape from Nazi Germany to Kenya in 1939 allowed his creative genius to burst forth in the light and colour of Africa. Leaving Africa in 1963, he settled in Malta and took on the name of Dusemond. This was the name of the small village on the Mosel from which his father's family came. Mond was the maiden name of his mother who came from Werl in Westphalia.
