The National Sporting Library & Museum is proud to be presenting an exhibition of work this fall by American illustrator Paul Desmond Brown. This exhibition of original equestrian artwork will feature Brown’s work from NSLM collections with a special highlight of his steeplechasing images from the 1930’s.
Recognized as a master sporting artist for his scenes of equestrian sports like horse racing, foxhunting, and polo, Brown depicts a full range of moments from elegant jumps or graceful gallops to disastrous crashes and spills. The NSLM collection includes over 100 books written or illustrated by Brown, many inscribed with his personal notes and commentary. The exhibition will showcase original pencil drawings from some of his most popular books, varying from light sketches to finished pencil and ink illustrations.
Paul Brown from the Permanent Collection will be on view from August 29th until January 17th, 2016. Mark your calendars and don’t miss out on some superb equestrian artwork!
