Mini Story or Hook:

A striking original Australian landscape capturing the Murray River at sunset, painted in 1988 by regional artist Brian Brown, known as “Brownie”.

Titled on the reverse “Sunset on Murray R. at Tol Tol”, the scene features a magnificent river red gum overlooking the water as the setting sun fills the landscape with rich gold, ochre and russet tones.

The painting has particularly good provenance for a regional work. It is signed and dated “Brian Brown 88” at lower right, titled by hand on the reverse and retains Brown’s original studio stamp identifying him as “Brian Brown ‘Brownie’, Kilpatrick Rd., Euston, N.S.W.”

About the Artist:

Brian Brown, known as “Brownie”, was a regional Australian artist working from Kilpatrick Road, Euston, NSW.

While little published biographical information about Brown appears to survive, the original studio stamp retained on the reverse of this painting provides an important contemporary record of the artist, his working name and his Euston location.

His subject matter in this work is closely connected with the landscape of the district in which he worked. Tol Tol lies in the Murray River region near Robinvale and Euston, making this an appealing example of regional Australian art depicting the artist’s local environment.

The existence of a purpose-made studio stamp also suggests Brown was producing and offering his paintings commercially rather than this simply being an isolated amateur work.

Importantly, this work should not be confused with paintings by other Australian artists also named Brian Brown. The “Brownie” name and Euston studio stamp provide the clearest identification of this particular artist.
