(13x19) Alice Dalton Brown Blues Come Through Art Print Poster

Product Information

In the 1960s, Dalton Brown balanced family life and artmaking focused on images of interiors, figures and rural structures after a move to upstate New York. She and her family relocated to Greenwich Village, Manhattan in 1970, where she encountered in close proximity an art scene expanding from Abstract Expressionism into minimalism, conceptualism and various modes of realism. [5] [16] In 1975, she began exhibiting her paintings and collages of pastoral scenes. [14] [16] After turning to houses as subject matter, she attracted greater notice in the 1980s through solo shows at the A.M. Sachs [1] [18] and Katharina Rich Perlow [19] galleries in New York and group exhibitions at the McNay Art Museum, Columbus Museum of Art and Minnesota Museum of American Art.

In the mid-1990s, Dalton Brown shifted her perspective, with scenes from inside houses looking out, most characteristically with through open windows whose diaphanous, windblown curtains enlivened otherwise still, bare rooms with an implied human presence. [7] [22] [33] [29] Paintings with lake scenes, such as Summer Breeze (1995), Blues Come Through. (1999) and Whisper (2001), emphasized an active play of light, shadow and geometry on curtains, walls, floors and water through reflection, refraction and distortion. [22] [26] [34] [35] Art in America critic Gerrit Henry described them as works of eternal summer, "crystal clear in their psychological pantheism" with "a glistening apprehension of sun and weather" and an eye for the extraordinary amid the everyday. [6] With works such as the elegiac Autumn Reverie (1998), Dalton Brown's emphasis shifted to the house's architecture and the varying visual effects created by windows, in that case within an elaborately conjoined triptych-like structure of transitional passage consisting of porch, doorway and interior. [31] [8] As a contemporary photorealist using the difficult medium of watercolor, Dalton Brown achieves beautifully detailed scenes of airy domestic views, breezy porch settings and dappled seascapes which inspire a romantic, meditative mood. Her light-filled interiors and fresh landscapes contain strong graphic compositions which divide space with broad planes of color, to which she adds her distinct photorealist detail to highlight the subject matter.
