Description:
‘Glenn Brown's painting from a photograph is good in itself; its subject is a building in America by Philip Johnson. This monochrome work, painted from a photograph, is sympathetic to the hopes that Modern architecture had at that time and avoids simplistic moaning about the brutality of modern architecture. The process of painting it in this way almost protects the building from criticism.’
