Born 1900 in Berlin. Student of Arthur Segal. Braun was a member of the November Group, participated in the light reliefs shows of 1923 and 1925-30. In 1924, he participated at the First German Art Exhibition in Moscow, and had a joint exhibition with Lajos Kassak in the Sturm gallery in Berlin. In 1938 emigrated to Budapest. In 1949 he moved to the United States. Died 1950 in New York.

In his essay Konkretes Licht (Concrete Light), Braun mentioned that he used electric light in his reliefs, light sculptures, and illuminated stages (he published this essay under the title Changing Light Image, along with a design for an illuminated stage). Braun's work, Light Rhythm, exhibited at the November Group show in 1923 was mentioned by Ludwig Hilbersheimer in the Sozialistisches Monatscheft in company with the works of Vilmos Huszár, László Peri, and Moholy-Nagy, among others, as well as the films of Hans Richter and Werner Graell.
