As well as developing his own career Braun-Dusemond was eager to encourage a whole series of young Maltese artists, including John Borg Manduca and Mary de Piro. Renewed exile, retirement and death The Mediterranean idyll did not last forever. In 1976 the Prime Minister, Dom Mintoff, expelled Braun-Dusemond and his family from Malta. Braun-Dusemond was obliged to return to Germany. Unable to settle in Germany because of the agony of his memories (much of his family had perished in The Holocaust), Braun-Dusemond moved to Britain from which he continued to sell his paintings to clients abroad – mainly in Germany where he had his two last exhibitions in Berlin (1977) and in Hamm (1981). He spent his last years living yet again in the shadow of a cathedral - this time that of Wells in Somerset. Galleries and Museums 1950s John Whibley Gallery, London I.C.A.
