A San Francisco native, Joan Brown (1938-90) was recognized early in her career as a major talent working in the style that became identified as Bay Area Figurative. By the 1970s, Brown developed a personal iconography that combined people, places, and events she had known intimately with symbolic imagery in a style that became identified by critics as California myth-making. This painting refers to a personal journey, set against a San Francisco skyline. See “The Journey #2” by Joan Brown, located post-security in Terminal 2. https://bit.ly/3LKdizk

As an artist, Raymond Saunders relies on his own keen observations and experiences: “The important thing about doing art is that I also live… and the more I bring into myself, the more I have a desire and need to translate it into something.” This work is representative of the artist’s dramatic use of color, gestural strokes, elegant line, and the collaged remnants of everyday life to provide compositional, textural, and spatial contrasts.
