Did You Know?

In 1980, Malcolm Brown and his wife Ernestine opened the Malcolm Brown Gallery in Shaker Heights, Ohio, one of the first Black-owned fine art galleries in the US.

Description

Part of a recent series of paintings depicting musical performances, Groovin' by Malcolm Brown uses improvisatory drawing and explosive color to express the speed, rhythm, and energy of jazz. "Art," Brown has written, "is the window through which I share my artistic vision and emotion. . . . My aim is to capture the flavor of time and space with spontaneous color nuances."
