Charles Browning "Remembering to Forget: Strategies of Propaganda and Mythology"
Schroeder Romero & Shredder
This event has ended.
The paintings of Charles Browning offer a complex interplay of Art and History, humor and Brutality, sincerity and irony, narrative and allegory. They present with a "new" history painting, one that lays claim to a position of authority among the images of the past. Browning's sincerely flat-footed love of an anachronistic form of painting adroitly skewers the propaganda of frontier mythology. Using the associative potential of historical imagery and narrative, the scope of Browning's work expands to implicate us all in the going on within.
