James Brown, Jr.

James Brown, Jr's., journey began in Harlem, New York City in 1939.
His cultural experience was felt immediately as his Mother traveled with him to Florida every year for the next ten years. In Florida, Brown experienced the old South on the family farm located in an African village hidden away in the Ocala forest. The land was part of the homestead of his Great Grand Father an Africcan who had run away from slavery in South Carolina. His escape happened after he had been shot in the head and left for dead.
In Harlem the cultural manifestations in the community were new beginnings for all the Black folk who had migrated North. These were the years of the Depression and WWII, all of which influenced Brown's earliest memories and subsequent works of art.
Brown began drawing and painting by the age of four. He first began studing oil painting in 1954 while in High School. Later in 1958 he attended the Arts Students League then for the next ten years the school of Visual Arts, all on a part-time schedule.
The artistic images produced by James Brown, Jr., over fifty years and counting represent an accumulation of the history he lived through, cultures he experienced, and wisdom he accumulated.
