The Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia, is closed till 2011, but they have a large collection of portraits by Gerald Leslie Brockhurst, including this print, “Adolescence (Kathleen Nancy Woodward)” (1932). The young woman, whom Brockhurst renamed Dorette, became his muse at the age of sixteen and later his second wife. Brockhurst, a Brit relocated to the US, called himself “the painter of beautiful women.”
