Speaking to these people nearly a decade after Brocklehurst’s death, a picture emerges of a strikingly beautiful, but immensely shy, person who lived to draw. She lived the artist’s life in the traditional sense, selling here and there to fund trips and buy materials. She was fascinated by subcultures at a time when the art establishment wouldn’t touch them. She was also a woman, who refused to paint the pretty pictures expected of her. Instead, her work recalled the taut muscular limbs and enlarged extremities of the paintings of early 20th century Austrian enfant terrible Egon Schiele. Thus, she was an outsider in the art world from the get-go, and remained so. You get the feeling that’s the way she liked it.
