Death
Brown died in 1936 in Woodstock, alone and impoverished but by no means unaccomplished. Thinking
and working ceaselessly until the end, he left behind an
enormous output of lithographs and writings, including
books and articles on painting and lithography and 12 volumes of journals documenting his experiments in printmaking.[11]
