Biography
Bronner was born in Haifa, Mandatory Palestine, on 14 January 1943. He is the eldest son of Austrian cabaret artist Gerhard Bronner. In 1948, at the age of five, he returned with his father to Austria. In 1970, Bronner launched the monthly economic journal trend and news magazine profil.[1][2] In 1974, trend and profil were sold and Bronner emigrated to New York, where he lived as a painter, having several exhibitions both in Europe and the US.[3] He returned to Vienna in 1986 and in 1988 founded the national daily newspaper Der Standard, of which he remains publisher.[2][4]
In 2008, Austrian journalists Klaus Stimeder and Eva Weissenberger wrote a biography on Bronner called Trotzdem – Die Oscar Bronner Story. The book was published in English under the title Despite Everything – The Oscar Bronner Story.[1]
On his own webpage, Bronner announces: 2009 return to painting.[5]
In May 2014, Bronner left the board of Der Standard.[6]
Artist
Art historian Dieter Ronte writes about Bronner in 1985:[7] Oscar Bronner works in series. The series of flowers and men were followed by landscapes from early 1983 to mid-1984, which in turn preceded the portraits (Jakov Lind) and the nude paintings.
