Louise Brooks Frank Martin signed etching 26/110
Limited Edition Signed Etching on Copper
ARTIST Frank Vernon Martin (1921-2005)
TITLE Louise Brooks (26/110)
Published by Christie's Contemporary Art in 1974
Frank Martin was a printmaker, illustrator and teacher, born in Dulwich, southeast London. He read history at Oxford University and then studied at St Martin’s School of Art. After army service in World War 2 he gradually established himself as a freelance artist, although he taught at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts from 1953-1980. He illustrated many books, including Charles Lamb’s Essays, 1963 and William Hazlitt’s Essays, 1964. From 1966 he turned his attention to a long series of prints of Hollywood actresses of the silent film era.
Originally a Ziegfeld Follies Girl, Louise Brooks made films in Hollywood in the late 1920s. Her high reputation as an actress rests on her performance as Lulu in Pandora's Box, made in Germany in 1928.
(Number 172 in Hollywood-Continental)
