friends and family considered him a Germanophile. When he returned to Barcelona was appointed teacher of drawing and colour in the section of artistic craft of the local School of Work. The arrival of the Second Spanish Republic, the new authorities removed him in 1931, a fact that upset and demoralized him. Brunet has been considered an apolitical personal and his only interest was art. It is probable that his cessation was simply because he had been appointed during the monarchical period. He tried to fight what he belevied to be an injustice and asked help to his friend Apel·les Mestres to intercede for him. However, a few years later he was appointed professor at the Secondary School in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a position he held for very little time and eventually resigned. The Spanish Civil War meant worries and concerns for him. His house located in Balmes street was registered several times. In spite of this he continued to go to social circles at the cafes in the Rambla. A short time after his daughter Maria Teresa got sick and Brunet himself, affected for this, became ill and had to be admitted at the hospital. On 28 September 1938 his daughter died and the next year Brunet died too, on 12 October 1939. Work Brunet was a very prolific artist, working especially on bookplates, drawings, caricatures and posters, as well as watercolors, with which he participated several times in exhibitions in Barcelona in years 1911, 1918, 1919 and 1921. His work was awarded in various exhibitions and competitions, both in Spain and internationally. These distinctions made him deserve to be a member of the Spanish committee of the Rivoli International Exhibition. Important publishers, magazines and art books asked for his works to illustrate his works. In Catalonia and Spain Brunet collaborated with newspapers as L'Esquella de la Torratxa, La Campana de Gràcia, La Campana Catalana, El Diluvio Ilustrado, Palla Nova, Cu-Cut!, Dominguín and ABC. He signed his works as L. Bru-Net or only Bru-Net. He published two collections of pen drawings: Caps de casa (1922) and Testes de la terra-Catalunya (1929), a collection of types from various Catalan regions. Brunet was fond of drawing landscapes, as a good connoisseur of the mountains around Badalona, especially La Conreria, he made drawings of the views of the mountains and their monuments, such as the Carthusian monastery of Montalegre (Tiana).
