Literary Nonfiction. Art. William Benton ran a Santa Fe art gallery in the 1970s where he showed the work of Bay Area figurative painter Joan Brown. In THE MARY JULIA PAINTINGS OF JOAN BROWN, poet and novelist Benton deftly weaves a tribute to Brown (seventeen of her paintings are reproduced) and a meditation on love and his late ex-wife.
"Written with clarity and a deceptive, beguiling simplicity, Benton's text wanders into very personal terrain, something art writing usually avoids but perhaps shouldn't."—Lilly Wei, art critic and curator
The Mary Julia Paintings of Joan Brown William Benton Books
In the late 1970s, author William Benton ran an art gallery in Santa Fe. He arranged with San Francisco figurative artist Joan Brown to show a series of her paintings on paper, sight unseen, based on his knowledge of and admiration for her work. When she arrived with the paintings, he discovered that he had a surprising connection to them.William Benton has written a personal and moving reflection on the “Mary Julia” paintings by Joan Brown, which is deepened by an interwoven, related story of his wife and their marriage. The two narratives slip back and forth, each uniquely poignant. The eighteen full-color images of Brown’s paintings provide a cinematic third story. Open the book anywhere to a picture, and imagine the movie it might reference. I love this book. It illustrates perfectly how essential art is to fully realized human experience.
