Herman Brood (1946 – 2001) started his career as a musician, but could add many professions to his name. Known for his (international) hit Saturday Night, his colourful and expressive paintings and as the embodiment of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, Brood has left a lasting mark on the Dutch cultural landscape.
