Paul Wonner & Theophilus Brown Painting is its Own Language

18 works spanning a period of over 50 years

February 3 - May 15, 2025

Cañada College is proud to present the works of Paul Wonner (1920-2008) and Theophilus Brown (1919-2012), two significant figures in the Bay Area Figurative Movement.

This intimate exhibition brings together paintings and drawings from the private collection of San Francisco collectors Matt Gonzalez and Kelly Egan.

The collection offers a unique perspective on both artists' work, spanning over five decades. Gonzalez, who shared studio time with Brown, and his wife Egan have thoughtfully assembled these 18 works, providing a rare glimpse into the artistic evolution of these influential California artists.
