Irby Graves Brown (Texas, 1928-2016), Southwestern landscape scene, oil on canvas, signed lower left, with Wadle Galleries (Santa Fe, New Mexico) sticker on the verso
sight: 20 x 24 in., frame:28 x 34 in.
Provenance: The estate of prominent Austin, Texas attorney George Cowden
Irby Graves Brown knew at a very early age he wanted to become an artist. He was commissioned to paint his first landscape by a local shop owner when he was thirteen years old. After graduating from high school, Brown served in the Army, and then studied with Olin Travis for three and a half years at the Art Institute in Dallas. Brown sold his work in Dallas galleries and taught art classes in his studio, until a Santa Fe gallerist discovered his work and asked to represent him. Brown's work found a ready audience in Santa Fe, where he enjoyed a steady painting career for the rest of his life.
