THE GREEN WORLD OF BROWN IS COMING TO THE ROSE PATERSON ART GALLERY
The Green World of Brown Exhibition, Weston Park, Shropshire, 5 Aug – 26 Sept open daily 11:00 to 4.00 pm
This dynamic, mixed-media, free exhibition, The Green World of Brown, presented by The Landscape
Foundation (UK), explores how the most celebrated English landscape designer and early environmentalist Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) remains the ‘Great Influencer’. Weston Park is one of Brown’s most beloved West Midlands landscapes.
The Green World of Brown focuses on a new direction to the Brown story by showing the works of a broad spectrum of creative people who have been influenced by Brown in the last 300 years in over 60 estates and public parks that are still enjoyed today.
Artists and craftspeople, painters, sculptors, poets, photographers, landscape designers, architects, engineers, musicians, even writers, editors, playwrights, actors and filmmakers, have all been inspired by Brown’s holistic, innovative, naturalistic approach to landscape, architecture and interiors.
If you don’t know anything about ‘Capability’ Brown this will be a great starting point – from his Northumberland farming origins, to being wowed by the beauty, scale and practicality of his inventive holistic designs. The first professional improvement practitioner to become Royal Gardener to George III recognised ‘There wants a good plan’. Sounds simple! We will endeavour to show just how he did it!
