Peter Brown (1921-2005) was one of New Zealand’s finest exponents of the classical painting tradition.
By virtue of his outstanding ability in drawing and perception of form he was a master at capturing the
essential character of his subjects.
His landscape, portrait and still life paintings are fine art of the highest quality and can be found in
collections around the world.
All at McGregor Wrights have been honoured by our association with this fine, dedicated artist and
special man.
