Joseph Brown (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Brown (born 1918) Australian artist and art collector. Born in Poland, he immigrated to Australia when he was 15 years old. In 2004, he donated a large portion of his art collection to the National Gallery of Victoria, which is displayed at the Ian Potter Centre for Australian art. The Joseph Brown Collection shows a wonderful display of a cross section of Australian art. Included are paintings from all major periods from colonial to Heidelberg, to Aboriginal and twentieth century art. The collection is a tribute to the great generosity of Dr Brown and his exquisite taste in Australian art through many different eras.
