Abraham Cornelis (Bram) Roth (The Hague, September 7, 1916 – October 21, 1995) was a Dutch sculptor.
Live and Work
Roth studied sculpture with teachers such as Bon Ingen-Housz, Marino Marini and Albert Termote at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague. Later as a teacher himself was he connected to the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten en Technische Wetenschappen in Rotterdam. He worked in a semi-naturalistic, style; frequent subjects of his sculptures were women and horses.
He worked as an independent sculptor and painter, but was also a member of artists' groups such as the Pulchri Studio, Verve en the South Holland Cultural Group (Dutch: Culturele Raad Zuid-Holland). Roth was considered part of the artistic movement named the Nieuwe Haagse School.
Much of his work is in public spaces in The Hague.
