The Years of Glenn Brown

An essay tracing the development of the paintings of Glenn Brown from the early 1990s to the present; and considering the origins of Brown's painting in its relation to appropriation art of the 1980s.

This essay appears as the main text on paintings in the most complete monograph yet published on Glenn Brown’s art; it offers a major re-interpretation of Brown’s painting as developed since the early 1990s, especially in its complex relationships to appropriation art, photorealism, gesture, tradition and painterly style.
