A noir exploration of architecture, eros, tragedy, absurdity and beauty.
A fractured modernist memory narrative, eluding
genocide and oppression by a hair's breadth.
Based on the pictures of brilliant photographer Aurel
Bauh (born 1900 Bucharest, died 1964 Paris) who died unexpectedly and left his
masterful, moody and avantgarde photos spread across Romania, France, Germany
and Israel. He only published one book during his lifetime – “Bucharest”, a
restrained and lyrical ode to the city of his birth less than two decades after
WWII, released under the communist regime a few years before his death.
My new book features brush and ink drawings and text
inspired by Aurel Bauh’s architectural shots, portraits, landscapes, folkloric
reportage and nudes.
Available as both hard copy and eBook on Amazon!
Or, if you’d like a signed copy, please contact me and
let me know!
Starting next week, I’ll be posting from my new book – AUREL BAUH: EYE LENS, based on the pictures of brilliant photographer Aurel Bauh (born 1900 Bucharest, died 1964 Paris) who died unexpectedly and left his masterful, moody and avantgarde photos spread across Romania, France, Germany and Israel. He only published one book during his lifetime – “Bucharest”, a restrained and lyrical ode to the city of his birth less than two decades after WWII, released under the communist regime a few years before his death. My new book features brush and ink drawings and text inspired by Aurel Bauh’s architectural shots, portraits, landscapes, folkloric reportage and nudes. Only in the Instagram posts, I will also post the photos which inspired me.

Exploring the painting, design and architecture of Theo Van Doesburg (1883-1931), founder of the modernist De Stijl movement – using the artist’s explosive words and images in a surreal comics documentary format – Matthew Brown continues the fragmentary, poetic graphic novel style he pioneered in ORNETTE SPEAKS, ROTHKO and WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Also containing
forays into human anatomy and remembered song lyrics from Joy Division, The
Beatles, Billie Holliday and David Bowie, plus a remarkable assortment of icons
and oddities.
My exploration of the subliminal images which romp through my comics subconsciousness is now live on ComiXology...
