Artist
Bown




Bown is a Social Realism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This British watercolorist captured quiet corners of southern England between 1940 and 1942. Look at Amery Farm, Alton for rolling fields under a low sky and Butcher’s Shop, Reigate for a crisp storefront with fresh cuts of meat on the counter. The works feel fresh because he painted on the spot, letting paper soak up color as he worked.
Tap Whitehall House, Cheam to see how he framed a weathered doorway or Bentworth, Near Alton for a village lane where light slides across brick and thatch.
