	Museum Studies, The Art Institute's Journal
		Yoakum claimed to have traveled internationally, a point that some find hard to believe, given his modest financial circumstances as a pensioner living on Chicago’s South Side.
		Yoakum devised a personal language of marks and shapes, repeated throughout this composition to create a density of forests, undulating rock formations, and the illusion of spatial depth.
		Such animism is the most distinctive quality of Yoakum’s drawings and demonstrates his ability to suggest, in delicate lines and smoothly rubbed pastel colors, the awesomeness of nature and its power to inspire poetic thought and vision.

		Bathed in a delicate glow of light and tone, they are viewed from a flat, frontal perspective that enhances their childlike appeal.
		More than occasionally, Yoakum shifts the scene, in one marvelous case to a tornado on Tampa Bay, in which the gray, whalelike bulk of a twister, spouting a funnel at one end, chugs along a body of calm blue water, backed by cartoony rock formations of pink and green.

	Art in the 'Toon Age
		Brown's distinctive brand of Chicago Imagism combines forceful patterning with a claustrophobic atmosphere and a psychologically disturbing manipulation of scale whether the subject is flora or fauna, clouds or buildings, cynical comments on current events, or a side show view of humankind in banners with texts.
		Brown was, like them, a student at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1960s and influenced by 1940s and 1950s comics and advertisements, by Magritte and de Chirico, and by naïve artists such as Chicago's Joseph Yoakum.
		Brown developed his signature style by the 1970s in rural and urban scenes that look as familiar as something on a billboard, but are strangely odd.

		Born in Hamilton, Alabama, Brown came to Chicago in the early 1960s to study at the School of the Art Institute.
		There he met other young artists who, under the guidance and encouragement of Don Baum, were to make Chicago the birthplace of Imagism, a high-spirited, quirky realism inspired by popular culture and greatly influenced by naive artists such as Joseph Yoakum.
		Brown thereafter continued to work in a highly individualistic vein, creating images of the American scene as unforgettable and uniquely conceived as those of Grant Wood and Edward Hopper.
