Notes

Dating from early in Brown’s career, this work reflects the aesthetic and pedagogical training she received at the California School of Fine Arts, where she trained in the San Francisco school of abstract expressionism. By 1962, like her teacher Elmer Bischoff, however, Brown had begun depicting stripped-down, featureless human figures that skirted the boundary between abstraction and figuration. During this period, Brown lived with her husband Manuel Neri in the legendary Painterland building at 2322-24 Fillmore St., next door to Jay DeFeo and her husband Wally Hedrick. Their apartments –connected by a door-sized hole in the adjoining wall –served as an important social center for San Francisco’s beat generation.
