The name does not ring any bells, as would Röchling or Doebrich-Steglitz. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landsturm Posted 14 November , 2007 Share Posted 14 November , 2007 Same here... I don't recall Weinberg and I'm not able to find anything useful by searching in the net. Closest name I can come up with is Brynolf Wennerberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest name I can come up with is Brynolf Wennerberg. Hello Landsturm, thank you very for your help. Perhaps I am wrong on the name and spelling and that it is Wennerberg, there really is a similarity between the two names ... Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landsturm Posted 15 November , 2007 Share Posted 15 November , 2007 Not quite sure though... I haven't seen ny battle scenes from him, he painted romantic home front scenes. http://www.greatwardifferent.com/Great_War...nnerberg_01.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gilinsky Posted 28 December , 2007 Share Posted 28 December , 2007 If this is the artist Brunno Wennerberg (sp?) who did a famous series of home life postcards which are reproduced in German history books frequently then there is even literature on the artist including possibly even a monograph or two. There are certainly articles in German on this artist both contemporary and historical. He portrayed a gentler, kinder type of heimat based Sturm Truppen. The family loving, jovial and happy go lucky type much more associated with Bruce Bairnsfarther's types actually. John Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gilinsky Posted 10 January , 2008 Share Posted 10 January , 2008 hello John, How can we know? Do you have an idea ? Michel I bought the apparently complete set of postcards of his major illustrated work published if memory serves me right in 1916 and have also seen them frequently reproduced especially in continental European and especially German histories of the war. The facial expressions, poses and circumstances (often humourous) all indicate a nice warm feeling to these German soldiers. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
