Butler Brown found himself the focus of national attention in December, 1976, when Rosalynn Carter gave her husband, President-elect Jimmy Carter, a water-color and an oil painting by Brown as a Christmas gift. When Jimmy Carter moved into the White House, the Butler Brown paintings went with him. The artist has since continued to attract the admiration of those who appreciate his simple compositions of agrarian America. Butler Brown has been the subject of a CBS-TV interview and featured in articles in NEWSWEEK, PEOPLE and ARTnews. In 1978, the Women's National Democratic Club, Washington, D.C., hosted a one-man exhibition of his works which was attended by many collectors and enthusiasts, including Joan Mondale, Senator Herman Talmadge and Senator Sam Nunn. Butler Brown was born in 1938. He has had a one-man exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, Ga. (1972), and his works have been shown in group exhibits at the High Museum in Atlanta, Ga., the Greenville County Museum of South Carolina, as well as at prestigious American art galleries.
