Dalton Brown's "Italy" series (2015–19) was initiated while she was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome. Its pastels and oil works focus on the warm light and textures of the area's everyday landscapes with views from both inside (through windows) and outside various villas. [29] [16] [25] In 2021, My Art Museum in Seoul presented a retrospective of eighty Dalton Brown artworks, "Where the Light Breathes," which included three commissioned "Summer Breeze" paintings: "In the Quiet Moment," "Expectation" and "Lifting Light" (all 2021).

Dalton Brown is able to portray an acute sense of time and place in her work by her masterful rendering of light and shadow. Alice Dalton Brown (born 1939) is an American painter known for realist works that capture the light and texture of specific, if often invented, places and moments. [1] [2] [3] Her signature motifs include exteriors of Victorian houses, barns and waterscapes viewed through windows or sheer curtains, by which she explores the play of light, shadow, reflection and geometry across various surfaces. [4] [5] [6] Critic J. Bowyer Bell wrote of Dalton Brown's style, "her realist works are more than the sum of their parts. In fact, there are so many parts so cunningly included, so many skills on display, that the result is almost an encyclopedia of what can be done." [7] a b c d Grosz, David.

Dalton Brown's work synthesizes various realist tendencies in a manner that evades easy placement within typical modes of contemporary realism or photorealism. [8] [7] [2] For example, despite using reference photographs, she does not imitate their optical qualities, nor does she derive compositions directly from them, but rather, reconstructs, edits and collages reality freely to suit her purposes. [8] [26] [21] Similarly, her painterly treatments of foliage, water and floorboards, eccentric compositional rhythms and perspectives, and level of psychological and emotional content introduce expressionist qualities at odds with more conventional realism. [8] [27] [2] Art historian April Kingsley compares Dalton Brown's approach to those of Richard Estes and Edward Hopper, deeming her a "subjective realist." [2] In addition to Hopper's influence, writers have cited Post-Impressionists such as Gaugin, Bonnard, Vuillard and van Gogh, the Dutch Old Masters, the 19th-century American sublime tradition, the American Precisionists, and Josef Albers (for his theories of color structure), as significant to her work.

In the 1960s, Dalton Brown balanced family life and artmaking focused on images of interiors, figures and rural structures after a move to upstate New York. She and her family relocated to Greenwich Village, Manhattan in 1970, where she encountered in close proximity an art scene expanding from Abstract Expressionism into minimalism, conceptualism and various modes of realism. [5] [16] In 1975, she began exhibiting her paintings and collages of pastoral scenes. [14] [16] After turning to houses as subject matter, she attracted greater notice in the 1980s through solo shows at the A.M. Sachs [1] [18] and Katharina Rich Perlow [19] galleries in New York and group exhibitions at the McNay Art Museum, Columbus Museum of Art and Minnesota Museum of American Art. [14] [2]
