Hardcover. Condition: Good. Hardcover. 4to. Published by Graystone Books, Santa Monica, CA. 1991. 96 pgs. Illustrated throughout. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in white cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Glamour, anyone? In this new collection, 30 images from the limited-edition portfolios of renowned Hollywood photographer Hurrell portray a "fabulous bestiary" of movie stars of the Thirties and Forties--Crawford, Gable, Garbo, and Dietrich, for a start. Hurrell's strongly composed portraits gave a distinctive look to many a star and thereafter affected many a career. Though mere commercial work in their day, his photographs, whose hallmarks are intimacy and atmosphere, have come to be considered art. Taken in the depth of the Great Depression, these newly available images of instantly recognizable faces may well have helped Americans through a trying time in their history by providing an escape from their travails as well as the inspiration that life can be swell if you just keep it up. As such, Hurrell's faces have been called "the gods and goddesses of modern democracy." The only flaw in this otherwise peerless volume is the misspelling of Katharine Hepburn's first name. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. George Hurrell was called the "Rembrandt of Hollywood." Before his arrival, movie star portraits were "soft focus" and undistinguished, derivative of the Main Street USA portrait salon. Hurrell instituted a sharp, dramatic look. The vibrant, temperamental artist was an original, loved by the subjects he glamorized. For these performers, a Hurrell portrait was the passport to immortality. In this paperback edition of photographer and historian Mark A. Vieira's original volume, the author offers a wealth of new images to illustrate a compelling narrative. Featuring rare and never-before-published portraits and behind-the-scenes shots, George Hurrell's Hollywood covers Hurrell's entire career, from his beginnings as a Los Angeles society photographer to his finale as the celebrity photographer who became a celebrity himself. More than 400 pristine images showcase his work with Hollywood icons from 1929 to 1992. Vieira's text recounts the artist's life, from his childhood to the heyday of his career as a star maker, through untold stories of his fall from grace and eventual comeback. Filled with previously unseen photos of the biggest stars across more than six decades and abounding with fresh insight, this volume is not only the ultimate showcase of the trailblazing artist's work but an indispensable treasury of Hollywood lore. The definitive biography and photographic record of George Hurrell, the famed photographer who shot the most iconic images of classic Hollywood legends-now featuring new and upgraded images. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
