H. Brocas
H. Brocas is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Hugh Brocas carved theatrical portraits that feel like candid shots of actors mid-performance. His 1785 print of Mr Lee Lewes as the swaggering Captain Bobadil captures the moment between script and laughter, when the mask slips and you see the real face behind the bluster. Brocas belongs in Gallery Tiles because every print is a backstage pass to those split seconds—tap on Mr Lee Lewes as Capt. Bobadil and you’re suddenly in the green room, watching the show before it starts.
