| Emily Brown is one of the Philadelphia area's most distinguished painters. In 2005 she had a 25 year retrospective, Emily Brown: The Evolving Landscape, at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA: The show of more than 50 paintings made over the last 25 years reveals how the Philadephia landscape painter began by recording in a deadpan, uninflected style what most of us see when we look around: the earth, the horizon, the sky. [...] Moving away from the long view, Brown, 62, begins to look at nature from a more philosophical angle by painting "still lifes" of her compost pile, a juicy metaphor for death and decay. (Edward J. Sozanski, A Phila. painter & her evolving vision, The Philadephia Inquirer) |
