signed in pencil on front. Berkeley artist Christopher Brown draws from historical photographs and personal recollection to create dream-like and playful compositions. He has developed a reputation for ethereal paintings and prints that often straddle the line between figuration and abstraction. Sheet Music is a whimsical print with painterly qualities that evokes movement and explores the area between clarity and confusion.
Selected collections include the Oakland Museum of Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the de Young Museum, San Francisco; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
