Joan Brown is coming to Carnegie Museum of Art! This exhibition is the first major survey of Joan Brown (American, 1938–1990) in over 20 years, and offers a compelling look at the prolific career of a painter known for her large-scale, high-key portraits of family, animals, and herself. Organized chronologically, Joan Brown presents 44 objects, including paintings and sculptures, and traces the depth and evolution of the artist’s 35-year career as a painter, starting with her art school days in 1950s San Francisco to her premature death at age 52.
On Saturday, May 27, Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh members are invited to meet, mingle, and enjoy themed refreshments from 10 a.m. to noon in the Hall of Sculpture during a members-only reception with gallery spotlights tours in the Heinz Galleries.
Joan Brown is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
