"To many viewers, the Schoenbrod portraits of his fellow man whether drawings, paintings or etchings, bring to mind a complex of Rembrandt, William Blake, Kahil Gibran and Leonardo da Vinci."  Iona Logia, 1972

Gilbert Adam Schoenbrod’s art reflected his personal philosophy, which took on a more vivid form later in life after a breakdown led to a breakthrough. He willingly left behind a materially successful career as a specialty jeweler to dedicate his remaining years to the illustration of his concept of God for the benefit of mankind. 

 

His devotion to his mission to help enlighten humanity through both the written word and pictorial representations of the insights gleaned from his journey can be seen in the legacy of his artwork and writings. It was Schoenbrod's wish that all his pieces be kept together; here we attempt to honor this wish with a virtual gallery and trust that when the time is ripe, his seeds will take root and give birth to new life.   

 

His specialty was the creation of bas-reliefs, of which there are 37 in this collection. His prolific nature can be further seen in his 50+ manuscripts, roughly 300 large paintings, hundreds of smaller works, and sculptures (drift wood and metal). There are portfolio's as yet untouched as well as manuscripts on topics as diverse as polarity and cancer yet to be transcribed. As the catalogue is further preserved and fleshed out, we will make more content available for viewing.
