Joseph Brown (artist)

Joseph Brown (born 1918) Australian artist and art collector. Born in Poland, he immigrated to Australia when he was 15 years old. In 2004, he donated a large portion of his art collection to the National Gallery of Victoria, which is displayed at the Ian Potter Centre for Australian art. The Joseph Brown Collection shows a wonderful display of a cross section of Australian art. Included are paintings from all major periods from colonial to Heidelberg, to Aboriginal and twentieth century art. The collection is a tribute to the great generosity of Dr Brown and his exquisite taste in Australian art through many different eras.
