EDITORS COMMENTS
This charcoal drawing from 1915 showcases the esteemed English writer, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), captured in exquisite detail by artist Hugh Goldwin Riviere. Bentley, a prominent figure in the literary world of the early 20th century, is immortalized in this striking portrait that beautifully captures his essence. The skilled use of charcoal brings out the depth and character of Bentley's features, highlighting his intelligence and creativity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he expertly renders Bentley's expressive eyes and distinguished facial hair. Bentley was renowned for his contributions to literature, particularly for inventing a unique form of humorous poetry known as "clerihews". These witty four-line verses became synonymous with his name and showcased his sharp wit and clever wordplay. His talent as a wordsmith shines through even in this static image. Riviere's masterful technique adds an air of sophistication to the composition while capturing the spirit of Bentley's era. The play between light and shadow creates a sense of depth that draws viewers into the scene, allowing them to connect with both subject and artist on a deeper level. This timeless artwork serves as a testament to both Edmund Clerihew Bentley's enduring legacy as an influential writer and Hugh Goldwin Riviere's skillful ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the essence of their subjects.
