The Art Collections - Trinity College Dublin
The Art Collections - Trinity College Dublin Artist Deborah Brown Title White on Canvas with Blue (1962, ref. no. 206/14/62) Medium oil on canvas Notes Donated in 2017 by the Estate of Professor Anne Crookshank FTCD b. 1927, Belfast Deborah Brown is a painter and sculptor from Cavehill near Belfast in the North of Ireland. As a child, she enjoyed being outdoors and riding horses around the fields near her home. She also spent many summers at the family’s country house in Cushendun, County Antrim. These landscapes would inspire much of her early work and, later, the green hills and rocky coastline would become reduced to their essential forms in her abstract paintings. At school, Brown was encouraged by her teachers to pursue art. The landscapist James Humbert Craig was a friend of her father’s and she regularly called to his home to watch him work. Brown states that it was Craig who explained that an artist must paint what they see rather than what they know, advice which proved invaluable in her training. Taking still-life classes as a teenager developed Brown’s skills in observation, a technique she honed at the Belfast College of Art (1946-7) and took to an even further degree at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, where she studied for two years under Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal. Whilst in Dublin, Brown visited the galleries and attended the Irish Exhibition of Living Art which reflected the talents of her contemporaries. Up to this point, her education had been focused on the realistic representation of forms and she admits that she was unsure about the meaning of abstract art.
