Description

Joan Crawford by George Hurrell (MGM, 1930s). Signed Artist's Proof Photo (14" X 18").
Vintage gelatin silver, double weight, matte photo. George Hurrell, MGM's top photographer, shot more images of Joan Crawford than almost any other star. Her ability to transform herself into any character or role, and unflagging drive to improve her image and abilities led to an important collaboration between the artists. This powerful portrait of the rising star, who was landing prestige roles in such films as Grand Hotel, Rain, Dancing Lady, etc... is just exquisite. Glamour portraits from Hurrell are always prize items, and this rare beauty will demand attention. Recto: Signed "Artist's proof-Joan Crawford, Hurrell" in black marker. Near Mint.
