EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the renowned English painter, Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970), in her element as she skillfully sketches the aerialists Bronette and Gonzalis at the famed Olympia Circus in 1928. Knight, the first woman to be elected as a Royal Academy member since its inception, is depicted in the image with intense focus and dedication, her eyes fixed on her subjects as she expertly captures their grace and agility on paper. The circus, with its vibrant energy and captivating performers, served as a rich source of inspiration for Knight. Her paintings of the behind-the-scenes world of the circus, much like her acclaimed works of the ballet, showcased her exceptional talent in depicting the human form in motion and her ability to convey the raw emotion and intensity of live performance. Bronette and Gonzalis, the elegant and enchanting aerialists, are seen here in their stunning costumes, suspended in mid-air, their faces a perfect blend of concentration and joy. The intricate details of their costumes, the bold colors, and the dynamic poses all come alive in Knight's sketch, offering a glimpse into the magical world of the circus and the extraordinary artists who bring it to life. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the circus and the captivating power of art, as well as a celebration of the groundbreaking achievements of Dame Laura Knight, a trailblazing artist whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
