Career
Brunst came to Canada with his family at around the age of 18 and settled in Saskatoon in 1923 where he worked in construction and then as a dry-cleaner.[3][2] He studied at the University of Saskatchewan with Augustus Kenderdine in an evening class for four years in the 1930s but was mainly self-taught.[2] In 1936, he began to paint abstractly. He moved to Vancouver in 1941, held two solo shows at the Vancouver Art Gallery and was a member of the B.C. Society of Artists. He died in Vancouver.[3] The Mendel Art Gallery organized his retrospective in 1982, titled Stanley E. Brunst, Radical Painter: An Exhibition.[2]
