Adolescence (1932) - Gerald Leslie Brockhurst

--------

When Brockhurst was thirty-eight years old, he was appointed a Visitor to the Royal Academy Schools. It was at this time that he met the sixteen-year-old artist’s life model Kathleen Woodward. Brockhurst was immediately besotted by this youthful and exuberant beauty and she was to become his lifelong model and even though she, his muse, was just sixteen years of age and he was thirty-eight, the two soon became lovers. He renamed her Dorette. which is of Greek origin and means “gift”. This renaming of one’s muse was similar to what his fellow artist and friend, Augustus John had done, when he named his lover and muse, Dorothy McNeil, Dorelia.

His new muse Dorette appeared in many paintings and etchings by Brockhurst but the one people remember the most was his audacious, some would say salacious, while others postulated that it was his greatest print masterpiece – Adolescence, which he completed in 1932. In the depiction we see his mistress, Woodward, then nineteen years of age, sitting on a stool in front of her dressing table mirror.

Laura G, Sassy 70’s

By WPA-era artist Albert Pels (1910-1998), Carnival Scene, oil on canvas, 29¾x39¾ inches (756x1010 mm), private collection. Photo: Swann Galleries, New York. #arthistory #WPA #oilpainting

From Wolfs Gallery, Cleveland: "Albert Pels was an art educator and painter of figures, genre scenes, urban and rural images, and illustration. He also did murals and worked in the mediums of oil, fresco, and watercolor."

A colorful painting of a group of people crowded together. A carnival clowning white with a black point hat, a woman in a red dress with a white pointy hat. A woman wearing a golden skirt and a green bra(?),with a sheer fabric sleeve puts her head on the clown’s shoulder. Many other people crowd around.
