2007

The following two sets of drawings are a series of stills painted by Brown for an animated video that accompanied a dance performance choreographed by Isabelle van Grimde. 54 of the first set and 183 of the second set still exist. The second set was numbered up to 311. At least 8 of these small drawings were framed and given to friends as gifts by Brown. Others were cut up and turned into collages (see the Ephemera page). At some point in the future I will post all the existing drawings. Below is a representative sample from both sets.

Portraits of Men: 2000-2007

With one exception (Untitled, 2002, below) these works were not framed. Perhaps he thought at one point about exhibiting them or working them up into larger pieces, but they were found in their own folder and range in dates from 2000-2007. Some but not all were dated and signed. For those which were undated I have assigned the range (2000-2007).

The technique is different than the preceding 5 paintings, but I have dated it 2002 because it resembles them more closely than the other drawings found in the folder.
