About the Item
Gerald Brockhurst (1890-1978) Etching "Anais" c.1930
Very fine etching by listed English / American artist Gerald Brockhurst.
Title "Anais" Pencil signed - From an edition of 55.
Plate dimensions 4" x 5.5" The frame measures 12" x 14".
Signed lower right corner.
Brockhurst had taken up etching in 1920, making it his favorite medium. Central to his work is female beauty presented in detailed observation with technical perfection. His women are mysterious, complicated and exciting, reflecting the artist's understanding of artistic traditions, portraiture, and the expression of allegory in the female image. His favorite subject in the 1920s was his exotic wife Anais. This is a fine etching of Anais.
Very good condition. A rare find.

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst
(b Birmingham, 31 Oct. 1890; d Franklin Lakes, NJ, 4 May 1978). British-born painter and etcher who became an American citizen in 1949. Precociously gifted, an excellent draughtsman, and a fine craftsman, Brockhurst won several prizes at the Royal Academy Schools and went on to have a highly successful career as a society portraitist, first in Britain and then in the USA, where he settled in 1939, working in New York and New Jersey. He is best known for his portraits of glamorous women, painted in an eye-catching, dramatically lit, formally posed style similar to that later associated with Annigoni. As an etcher Brockhurst is remembered particularly for Adolescence (1932), a powerful study of a naked girl on the verge of womanhood staring broodingly into a mirror—one of the masterpieces of 20th-century printmaking.
