Byron BrowneThe Night Journey - Drip Painting like Jackson Pollock1947
1947
About the Item
In Byron Brown's "The Night Journey", 1947, Picasso meets Jackson Pollock. Here Brown strikes a balance between fanciful representation and abstraction. Notice the drip painting throughout. Although on a smaller scale, Pollock wasn't the only one doing drip painting in 1947. Unlined canvas. Minor 3-inch vertical repair to the canvas in the upper right corner, with accompanying craquelure recto. Mild frame abrasion in the upper left corner, most noticeable under close inspection. A tiny fleck of loss along the bottom edge, noticeable under close examination.
Framed Dimensions 38.25 X 34.5 Inches - otherwise presents very well and quite good condition. Best viewed with a top key light to bring out the dreamy colors.
George Byron Browne, who later dropped his first name, is considered among the leaders of the American avant-garde movement of the 1930s and 1940s alongside Ilya Bolotowsky, Arshile Gorky, and Willem de Kooning. Although Browne’s work is stylistically abstract, his imagery and references are taken from everyday life, nature, and art history. In fact, Browne was initially trained in a classical academic style; he once remarked, “There cannot be a new art without a solid basis in the understanding of past art.” In the 1930s, Browne’s painting reflected a strong European modernist influence, with particular affinities to the work of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Joan Miró. Browne’s style became more gestural in response to the emergence of abstract expressionism in the 1950s. The painter was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists, a group dedicated to the public promotion of abstract art.

- Football Team Sports Action Painting Abstract Expressionism, Sports IllustratedBy Bob PeakLocated in Miami, FLFootball plays cloaked in oversized Browns jackets are seen from behind running off the field. Always the graphic innovator, legendary illustrator Bob Peak creates a radical composition by leaving the bottom two-thirds of the picture plane empty of detail. To convey a sense of motion, Peak uses broad strokes of paint similar to the action painters Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning, who were the dominant force in the fine art world in the 1960s. Clearly, one can see a cross-over influence from Fine Art to commercial illustration as Peak strikes a balance between abstract versus figurative art. This work was done on an assignment for Sports Illustrated...Category
