EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait study, titled "Brother Brushes - Portrait drawing by Phil May of Sir Frank William Brangwyn," transports us back in time to the late 19th century in Whitby, Yorkshire. The subject of this evocative drawing is Sir Frank William Brangwyn, an Anglo-Welsh artist, painter, watercolourist, engraver, and progressive designer, who was renowned for his versatility and mastery of various artistic mediums. Brangwyn's connection to Whitby is not explicitly stated, but the title "Brother Brushes" suggests a camaraderie among artists, and the setting of the drawing is reminiscent of the traditional fishing town. Phil May, the skilled artist behind this portrait, expertly captures the essence of Brangwyn's character through his intricate lines and subtle shading. The fisherman-like features of the subject – the furrowed brow, weathered skin, and deeply set eyes – convey a sense of wisdom and experience that speaks to Brangwyn's rich history and artistic accomplishments. The artist's deft touch and attention to detail bring the portrait to life, allowing us to connect with the subject on a deeply personal level. The drawing, created in 1898, is a testament to the artistic prowess of both Phil May and Sir Frank William Brangwyn. It offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history and traditions of Whitby and the Yorkshire region through the eyes of these talented artists. This evocative portrait study is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, capturing the spirit of a bygone era and the enduring legacy of two remarkable figures in the annals of British art.
