Oil on canvas
Byron Browne
American (1907-1961)

“A prime example of Abstract Expressionism, Fallen Angel (1959) features a gestural scene of an abstracted angel-like figure.  This work showcases his signature style of organic abstract shapes with his studies from nature.  Byron Browne was a founding member of the American Abstract Artist, an association to promote and understand Abstract art.  Browne and Willem de Kooning (American, 1904-1997), another founder, whose work is also featured in this exhibition, use a range of techniques, from gestural mark making to more detailed brushstrokes and figural abstraction.  Jansen echoes both Browne and de Kooning’s painterly gestural strokes in the collaged squares and pavement in Streets, attesting to Jansen’s contemporary conversations with Abstract Expressionism.”
