SPONSORS: Satyam Computer Services, Ltd.,the W. Newton Morris Charitable Foundation and

the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art

GALLERY INFORMATION: On view in thePhilip Henry Alston Jr. and Virginia and AlfredKennedy Galleries

Although deeply influenced by ltalian Renaissattce

painters Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca,

he was nonetheless somewhat a modernist, his

portraits mingling the two traditions.

Between 1915 and 1919, Brockhurst lived in lrelandwith his first wife Ana'is, and was introduced toAugustus John and his circle by Oliver St. JohnGogarty. During the next decade, he emerged as a

virtuoso etchel printing portraits of extraordinarydepth, clarity and richness.

By 1939, Brockhurst had come a long way from his

first exhibition at the Chenil Galleries in London,organized some 20 years earlier. At the peak of thissuccess, he emigrated to America where he lived

and worked for the remainder of his life.

This exhibition focuses primarily on Brockhurst'spaintings and prints deposited at the museum by theJacob Burns Foundation. Presented in the widercontent of his career in America, the pictures are

examined with regard to Brocl<hurst's friendship withJacob Burns, whom the artist mentored as a student.

of group exhibitions and several one-man galleryshows, he has exhibited his work nationally,and his collectors' list reads like a who! who ofAtlanta-area art lovers, including Sir Elton John.

The title for this exhibition reflects Strauss!inspiration for many of his works. After living ondairy farms, blueberry farms and even in acypress swamp, Strauss is in tune with the worldof nature. Categorizing his sculptures is a perplexingtask; his work has been called contemporary,reductive, timeless, elegant and dignified.

The Georgia Museum of Art will host nine ofStrauss's sculptures, while nine additional oneswill be on display at Stonebridge WesternTreasures in Madison, Ga.

Grabach worked extensively in oil and watercolor,approaching the two mediums with energy and

inventiveness. It was in the latter he would produce

ambitious and successful works that focus on theurban and industrial settings of the city.

His work served as a mild expression of social

modernism in a time when protest art was on therise and America was moving in a new direction.
