Nude woman in bronze, with applied green patina. Signed "Joe Brown" and dated "1943." In excellent condition, with no chips, dents, cracks, or any flaw we could see. This piece is heavy, so shipping within the U.S. will be via USPS Priority Flat Rate Box, with insurance. Joe Brown became a sculptor almost by accident. He was graduated from Temple University in 1931 at the height of the depression. He couldn't get a position as a physical education instructor, but since he was an athlete he got a job posing for artists at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. There he was tempted to try sculpting himself, and the three pieces he produced were accepted by the Academy for exhibition. His work caught the eye of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, a noted physician and sculptor. Brown served a seven-year apprenticeship to Dr. McKenzie and then joined the Princeton University staff as boxing coach in 1937. In 1939 he began teaching a sculpture course and eventually became a full professor in the School of Architecture.
