Rolf Brandt

Rolf Brandt is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

German draftsman Rolf Brandt drew everyday scenes in the mid-1940s, leaving two surviving drawings in ink and wash. In “The Shop” you can peer through a glass storefront at shelves of bottles and jars, while “The Black Cat” shows a single cat slinking past a dark doorway. Both sheets feel quiet and slightly mysterious, like snapshots from a city under wartime curfew. Tap “The Shop” to zoom in on the bottles’ labels and the soft light catching the glass.
