Join us in the gallery for a documentary film screening about the life and art of Theophilus Brown. Shaped by WWII and his friendships with a ‘who’s who’ list of luminary artists of his day, Theophilus takes us on the remarkable journey of his life in art.

Theophilus Brown longed to be an artist from his early childhood.  His first accolades came when he placed in an adult art show at the age of 13.  Thrust into WWII as part of a heavy weapons company brought his privileged and sheltered upbringing to an end.  After the war, he resumed his artistic journey with renewed commitment, meeting and being influenced by a who’s who list of artists including Picasso, Braque, DeKooning, Park, Diebenkorn, Thiebaud, Rothko and more.
