Born in England, he moved to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, in 1905 and later settled in Toronto. A self-taught polymath, Brooker introduced abstraction to Canadian art in 1927 with his painting \"Sounds Assembling\". His work spanned painting, literature, and commercial design, merging visual and literary experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrooker’s abstract paintings of the 1920s featured dynamic forms, rhythmic linework, and geometric fragmentation.

His 1929 solo exhibition at Toronto’s Arts and Letters Club was the first public display of abstract art in Canada. Alongside painting, he published the novel \"Think of the Earth\" (1936) and contributed essays to \"The Canadian Forum\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Toronto, Brooker connected Canadian modernism to international movements. His abstraction predated the Group of Seven’s shift toward non-representational work. Beyond art, he worked as an advertising executive at MacLaren Advertising, designing campaigns for clients like Eaton’s and the Canadian National Railway. His multidisciplinary practice reflected the intersection of art and commerce in the 1920s–1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Bertram Richard Brooker\",\"birthDate\":\"1888-01-01\",\"deathDate\":\"1955-01-01\",\"nationality\":\"Canadian\",\"jobTitle\":\"painter\",\"description\":\"Bertram Richard Brooker (1888–1955) was a Canadian painter, writer, and advertising executive.

Active during the 1920s and 1930s, Brooker synthesized Cubist formal language with spiritual and philosophical concerns. This 1928 still life exemplifies his mature geometric abstraction, where recognizable objects dissolve into interlocking planes and volumes.\n\u003ch3\u003eBring the world's most iconic masterpieces onto your walls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're decorating your living room, home office, or bedroom, you will find in our catalog the masterpiece that will bring to your spaces the mood, the atmosphere and the character you are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArt lets you express in your home who you are: your story, your sensitivity and your personality in the most beautiful and subtle way, a silent statement of culture, taste and sophistication.
