About the Item
Une Dacquoise. (Anaïs) (A Woman from Dax (Landes).) 1922. Etching. Fletcher catalog 29 state iii. 6 3/8 x 4 1/2 (sheet 11 1/2 x 9 1/8). Edition 76. A rich impression printed on cream wove paper, on the full sheet with deckle edges. The name Dacquoise is given to ladies from the town of Dax in South Western France, the Aquataine. Signed in pencil.
The model is the artist's first wife, Anaïs Folin.
Born in Birmingham, the artist attended the Birmingham School of Art from the age of 12. Regarded as a 'young Botticelli' ,his drawing skills won him a gold medal and scholarship at the Royal Academy Schools in 1913. He studied in England, France and Italy, where he was profoundly influenced by Piero della Francesca, Botticelli and Da Vinci.
His first wife, Anaïs Folon, was the model for his early etchings of young womanhood (1920 - 30). The marriage came under strain in 1922 when his wife discovered his adultery with her sister, Marguerite. Subsequently Brockhurst fell in love with Dorette, his 16-year-old model. He exhibited Adolescence at the Royal Academy in 1933. In August 1939 Brockhurst and Dorette moved to the United States. Brockhurst and Anaïs counter-sued on the grounds of adultery, and were divorced in 1940. Subsequently he married Dorette; but they separated amicably. He painted society portraits in New York, and ceased printmaking in the 1940's.

- Three studies of Bloom Richard Hamilton James Joyce Ulysses illustration printBy Richard HamiltonLocated in New York, NYRichard Hamilton began studying James Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) during his national service in 1947. Hamilton was inspired by the idea of illustrating Joyce’s complex, experimental novel in and began making sketches the following year, only to put the project to one side in 1950, with no publisher willing to front the exorbitant cost of resetting the novel for illustrations. It was not until 1981 that he made the decision to create one illustration for each of the novel’s eighteen chapters, and a nineteenth image – a portrait of one of the novel’s main protagonists, Leopold Bloom – destined as a frontispiece. He conceived these images as large intaglio...Category
