Abraham Gerardus (Bram) van Velde was a Dutch painter and lithographer. He developed a lyrical abstract style, using strongly contrasting colours. His work emanates great tension and emotionality. At a very young age, van Velde worked from 1907 in the painting and decoration studio Van Schaijk, where he received his first painting training. At the age of 12, Bram started working for a home furnishing firm to support the family's needs. A natural talent, he copies the old masters early on and decorates furniture and lampshades for his company. His employer recognized his great talent and encouraged him to develop further. With the support of his boss, Bram leaves for Germany and settles in the artists' colony of Worpswede. Here, in addition to a number of paintings in expressionist style, he made his first lithograph - a self-portrait. It appears in an edition of the artists' colony in an edition of 500 copies.
