'Savage'

1960 -1964

Many powerful bronzes were also made in the 1960′s. These have a strong and disquieting presence and some are often referred to as Brown's ‘savage images’.

'These aggressively lacerated females and insectile creatures resembling now a praying mantis, now some corrupt temple goddess with horned head-dress, take us into surrealist fantasy . . ,'

        Neville Wallis,' Rodin and After' in The Spectator 19 July 1963
