About

This is a Silkscreen it is Titled Paul Cezanne, Post Impressionist, French. John Brower worked in Chicago as a billboard designer for 12 years. He taught art at Alverno College of Milwaukee, Wright Junior College in Chicago, the University of Illinois, and the University of Kentucky. A Pop Artist. In John Browers' work two important things come forward: the design and the image. In the painting "Indian 2" you are denied simply enjoying the background or the realistic figure in the foreground. They both on their own would make an interesting painting but Johns' insistence on putting them together leaves you with a picture scrubbed clean of indecision, so clear that you can hardly help yourself from needing to understand its meaning. John Browers' pictures are modern - no matter how instant they look you can tell they have been thought about and realized with a lot of calculation and intentionality. He has exhibited regularly in galleries throughout the country over the past 40 years and his work is in numerous collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Art After Art 1971. The exhibition featured works by contemporary artists who borrow and rework to their own ends famous paintings or traditional themes from the past.This exhibition consists of twenty-two paintings, drawings, sculptures, and graphics by 20th century artists , including Marcel Duchamp, Rene Magritte, John Clem Clarke, Tom Wesselmann, Roy Lichtenstein, Alain Jacquet, John Chamberlain, John Brower, Larry Rivers, Al Pounders, Joseph Cornell, Jose Luis Cuevas, and Sante Graziani. Enrico Baj, Wynn Chamberlain, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Sante Graziani and Saul Steinberg. "The idea of reusing earlier art is not new to the 20th Century, although it seems to have a special appeal to a number of artists working today. Pop artists scorn the inviolability of High Art and, in disregarding traditional notions of proper subject matter, choose commercial or low art. Some show a particular fondness for masterpieces in reproduction--the mass media or commercial version of art with a capital A. Following the Pop artists came the New Realists, who work from photographs. John Clem Clarke, for example, first used slides of masterpieces, but now restages them with his own models, photographs the restaged event, and spray-paints the images on canvas." Karin Rosenberg, Director of The Renaissance Society
