"This exhibition catalog accompanies a retrospective exhibition of prolific San Francisco-born
painter Joan Brown (1938-1990), the first significant survey of her work in more than
twenty years. Joan Brown charts the turns and devotions of a vision that was once
dismissed by critics as unserious but was in fact rooted firmly in research and impassioned
curiosity that remains uniquely compelling today. Deeply embedded in the Bay Area
art scene, Brown drew inspiration from many sources to create a charmingly offbeat
body of work that merges autobiography, fantasy, and whimsy with weightier metaphysical
and spiritual imagery and themes. Featuring texts by curators Janet Bishop and Nancy
Lim as well as essays by Solomon Adler, Marci Kwon, and Helen Molesworth, this lavishly
illustrated book establishes Brown's relationship to the self and family, to art history,
and to her wider artistic community, while examining the unique materiality of her
paintings and exploring her singular vision. In addition, select Brown works will
be paired with commentaries by contemporary artists ranging from friends and peers,
such as Ron Nagle, to younger artists inspired by her work, such as Woody De Othello"
