faced with so much racial strife, especially after having lived in peaceful coexistence with black GI’s for over three years in Italy. He would grad- uate in 1969 from West Springfield High School, all the while investigating the sources of mate- rial he first heard overseas, as well as that of the quasi-blues based offerings of British Invasion bands like the Yardbirds and John Mayall. Therefore, it seemed natural, then, that he would thereafter pursue a higher education in music; but art at this juncture of his life still had upper hand. Not only had he had an epiphany of sorts while observing first hand Old World architecture and painting but also his mother, a sophisticated cultural maven, was highly influential in this regard, encouraging him in this direction. Further reinforcing his ultimate choice of disciplines would be several brilliant and inspirational instructors that Wilson would have the good fortune to encounter during his undergraduate studies---David Freed, Morris Yarowsky, and Richard Kevorkian, all who con- tributed mightily to his art acumen. During the decade of the 70s, Wilson would go on to earn three degrees. First was a Batchelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond in 1973, a Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin in 1975, and a Master of Fine Arts, again from Virginia Commonwealth in 1978, the latter which enabled him to land an adjunct art teaching position there, which he held for eight years. It was at his initial alma mater wherein Brett Wilson would further refine his blues tastes by listening to Charlie Musselwhite’s, Stand Back, or albums by Paul Butterfield (with Sam Lay and Mike Bloomfield), LPs which served to steer him toward a more fundamental blues course; so much so, that he soon thereafter “began to noodle with the blues harp,” to use his expres- sion. But it wasn’t until 1984, that he considered a serious career in the blues. During this time frame, he studied this instrument from every perspective, as if he were cramming for an exam. When he felt worthy enough to perform Brett Stuart Wilson. in public, he joined a local Richmond outfit, p h o t o : l a r r y b e n i c e w i c z the Blues Defenders, which performed at now- defunct clubs like Rockits, wherein they once opened for Luther Guitar, Jr. MOJOWORKIN.COM | JUNE-JULY 2013 | bluesrag | 9 BRETT STUART WILSON But back then, as always, Brett Wilson had a lot on his plate. In fact, his art career was taking off as well, especially after having received an NEA grant in 1980 for his neo-expressionistic bas relief portrait-sculptures. He began exhibiting modestly, partici- pating in several group shows like “5 Artists in Richmond” at the Anderson Gallery at VCU in 1980, the “Fellowship Recipients 1940- 1980” at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts the same year, the “Five Years” at the 1708 E. Main Street Gallery (Original Members Exhibition) in Richmond in 1982, and the “Six Painters,” also at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in 1984. Other notable high- lights from this period were one- man exhibitions at the Olshonsky Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the University of Richmond. But the real feather in his cap, so to speak, was an invitation to display his work at Jus de Pomme in the East Village in Manhattan. In 1985, this neighborhood of the Big Apple had not yet been gentrified but nevertheless was a hot bed of artistic creativity. To say that the competi- tion for exposure was fierce would be an understatement, with such locals (and future luminaries) Keith Haring, Robert Mappelthorpe, Kenny Scharf, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, all vying for available gallery space. Evidently, this latter solo show created quite a stir because big time, world renowned collector and diamond merchant of Antwerp, Belgium, the Brazilian born Sylvio Brett Stuart Wilson Perlstein, purchased two of Wilson’s leading Truetones, 1990. prized pieces (including one of p h o t o : l a r r y b e n i c e w i c z Elvis, which even then sold for a few thousand) to add to his enormous portfolio of 20th Century Masonic Temple through the gener- became Wilson’s worst nightmare. effort in their fruition.
