A Life of Music and Visual Art
Bruno Lenz was a German painter and violinist who lived a life deeply rooted in the arts. Born in Bollenbach, in the Black Forest, he was the son of a teacher. His musical journey began with violin lessons in Freiburg im Breisgau, later studying under Jules Siber, Gösta Andrasson, Georg Kulenkampff, and Max Strub. His artistic devotion emerged early, with his first portrait drawings dating back to 1924. He received formal painting instruction from Theodor Schück, Otfried Nies, Otto Vittali, and Arthur Braun, with Julius Bissier exerting a decisive influence on his development.
