  • About

    Horace Brodzky was born in Melbourne in 1885 but left Australia at the age of 20 with his family for the United States, marking the beginning of an international career focused largely on drawing, printmaking and design that would play out between New York and London until his death in 1969.

    Brodzky secured a particular reputation for his prints while in New York between 1915–23, having developed a loose amalgam of fauvist and post-impressionist techniques in London the previous decade. Like many of his contemporaries, he would occasionally remove himself to nearby rural areas, capturing the quiet emptiness of country life which contrasted so dramatically with the busy metropolis of his home in New York city.
