Robert Brandy was born in 1946 in Luxembourg as Robert Brandenburger. Already as a fourteen years old boy he knew that his destination was to become an artist and painter. Influenced by the way of painting of Cézannes, Brandy went to France in 1972 and absolved an education at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence. It was then that he came into contact with the School of Nizza, the happenings of BEN and the paintings of Bioulès and Vialat. In 1976 Robert Brandy returned home to Luxembourg.
