Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Georgia Museum of Art, August 12-October 8, 2006, this catalog by the museum's curator of prints and drawings showcases the hyper-realist style of Brockhurst, "Britain's most sought-after portraitist in the first half of the twentieth century." Ray discusses the influence of Italian Renaissance masters and Pre-Raphaelite painters on his portraits of women and male corporate giants. The book includes a checklist of the exhibition.
