History

Henry James Stuart Brown was born in Bathgate on the 1st March 1871. He was a painter in watercolour and an etcher. He was educated in Inverness and Glasgow. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art between 1915 and 1918, where he took evening classes in etching. During this time his occupation is listed as a manufacturer. He devoted himself to his family business, and claimed to be an 'amateur' artist. As an etcher he was attracted to the wide open flatlands of East Anglia and the Netherlands, and worked 'en plein air'. He exhibited mainly with the London dealer Colnaghi, who published editions of his work. Brown's work is represented by etchings in the print room at the British Museum. He lived for many years in Torpichen, Linlithgow, where he died on the 1st April 1941.
