About the Item
Amanda No. 1 (Marguèrite). 1920. Etching. Fletcher 18. 3 1/2 x 2 3/8 (sheet 9 x 7 1/4). Edition 55. . A rich proof printed with plate tone on cream laid paper with full margins. Signed in pencil. Boused in a 14 x 11-inch archival silk mat.
This is a striking portrait of Brockhurst's first wife, Anaïs Folin.
During the 1920s Brockhurst became an etcher, focusing primarily on female portraits and using his wife as his model. Coolness, technical perfection, and overt classicism mark both his printmaking style and his painting manner. Gerald Brockhurst is best known for his portraits and etchings of glamorous women. Regarded from the age of twelve as a young Botticelli, he studied in England, France and Italy. Brockhurst's placement of a portrait within a surrounding landscape, recalls the work of Italian Renaissance masters, as there is a sense of mystery and the unknown, which separates the viewer from the sitters. Brockhurst's sitters are given extra emphasis by their surroundings and are usually composed close-up, looking straight at you, positioned in shallow space, against a ledge, or against a blank background. By changing the pose, setting, or costume he could seemingly transform the model into an entirely different person. To add to the shroud of mystery and romance of the image, and to encourage the imagination of the viewer, Brockhurst would attach exotic titles such as, Ophelia, Viba, Xenia, and Anaïs. In the UK in the 1930s and later in New York, Brockhurst became a fashionable portrait painter with famous sitters including Marlene Dietrich and the Duchess of Windsor. In retrospect, he is regarded as an impressive portraitist and printmaker.
