Throughout his career Roger Brown addressed all manner of adversities in late-twentieth-century life, from the exploding buildings of his Disasters series of 1972 to the horrors of HIV/AIDS—which took his life—and a wide range of other issues. The concerns he expressed in the twenty-nine paintings he made in 1978 included weather events both bene cent and dire, vertiginous skyscrapers, sex in the city, calamities (from a car crash to an assassination), and a commanding, bird’s-eye view of Washington, DC. Political, social, and current events were never far from his thoughts.
