Joan Brown After the Alcatraz Swim No. 3 Print

11 x 14 in. unframed print.

Joan Brown's vision, once dismissed by critics as unserious, was rooted firmly in research and impassioned curiosity that remains uniquely compelling today. Deeply embedded in the Bay Area art scene, Brown drew inspiration from many sources to create a charmingly offbeat body of work that merges autobiography, fantasy, and whimsy with weightier metaphysical and spiritual imagery and themes.
