July Update

With the help of my friend and Windsor photographer Doug MacLellan I have begun the process of transferring some as yet catalogued images from slides to .jpgs. I have also begun systematically working through the dozens of CD’s on which Jack stored images of his work, both finished pieces and in the process of development. The research on the slides and CDs has paid off: I have discovered 2 uncatalogued Grimm’s, several more likely Grimm’s, about a dozen drawings that I had not yet catalogued, numerous student paintings, as well as colour photos of paintings for which I had originally only had a black and white. All the new material has been posted on the appropriate pages. I have also posted part one of an essay by Marc De Guerre, currently a documentary film maker and a long time friend and collaborator of Brown’s The first part of the essay focuses on their time together at OCA. The second part will focus on their emergence into the professional art world in the stable of young artists assembled by Carmen Lamanna in the early 1980s.
