ClassBy C. ParkerWhen I read a Mark Vieira book, I always come to the same conclusion - it's the best he's ever done. Then he turns around and writes yet another 'best ever', every time. And so it is with 'George Hurrells Hollywood: Glamour Portraits 1925-1992'. Once I started reading, I simply couldn't stop - the text, the photographs, absolutely exquisite. Mark Vieira is one of my most favorite authors, and there's a reason for that - he's good at what he does. One of the best!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ... time to sit back and digest these incredible photos like sitting down to enjoy an expensive meal instead of ...By RJI just received my book so I've only done a cursory read through (looked at many of the photos) and realize I need to find the time to sit back and digest these incredible photos like sitting down to enjoy an expensive meal instead of rushing through like fast food. Hurrell's style is unmistakable. The before and after photos really tell the story of how he made stars out of "STARS" by making them appear better than the best they could be. Definitely a must have photo book that will give the reader hours of enjoyment.....one only needs to reserve the time to slowly digest not only the beautiful photos but the written glimpses into old Hollywood. George Hurrell (1904–1992) was the creator of the Hollywood glamour portrait, the maverick artist who captured movie stars of the most exalted era in Hollywood history with bold contrast and seductive poses. This lavishly illustrated book spans Hurrell's entire career, from his beginnings as a society photographer to his finale as the celebrity photographer who was himself a celebrity, and a living legend.From 1929 to 1944 Hurrell was the “Rembrandt of Hollywood,” creating portraits of Marlene Dietrich, Norma Shearer, Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, and Joan Crawford that were a blend of the ethereal and the erotic. His photos of Jane Russell sulking in a haystack made the unknown girl a star—without a film credit to her name. He immortalized leading males stars of the day from the Barrymores to Clark Gable and Gary Cooper. Latter photo shoots magnified the glamour of the likes of Warren Beatty and Sharon Stone.Through newly acquired photos and in-depth research, photographer and historian Mark A. Vieira, author of Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits, offers not only a wealth of new images but a compelling sequel to the story presented in his earlier book on Hurrell. Hurrell was himself a star—rich, famous, successful. Then, at the height of his career, he suffered a vertiginous fall from grace. George Hurrell's Hollywood recounts, for the first time anywhere, Hurrell's rise from the ashes—how movie-still collectors and art dealers pulled the elderly artist into a nefarious world of theft and fraud; how his undiminished powers gave him a second career; and how his mercurial nature nearly destroyed it.The photographs that motivate this tale are luminous, powerful, and timeless. This book showcases more than four hundred, most of which have not been published since they were created. George Hurrell's Hollywood is the ultimate work on this trailblazing artist, a fabulous montage of fact and anecdote, light and shadow. Years ago, writer-photographer Mark A. Vieira wrote and compiled a handsome book called Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits.This enormous and elegant volume supersedes it, not only in the quantity and quality of photographs it presents, but in Vieira's candid text, which expands on his earlier work and delves into the second part of Hurrell's life... I think it's fair to refer to this exquisite tome as definitive.- Leonard Maltin“A stunning collection of Hollywood portraits by George Hurrell, accompanied by an exploration of his life and career.”- Shelf Awareness [gWHNU.ebook] George Hurrell's Hollywood: Glamour Portraits 1925-1992 By Mark A.

  • NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The
    NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The story of Hollywood is fascinating. In 1905 Sunset Boulevard was just a dirt track road. Today it is a seventeen mile main road that runs through Los Angeles. By 1910 a community of film companies were emerging and by 1914 Adolph Zukor‘s Famous Players merged with the Lasky Company and it was not long before Paramount Pictures was created and a vertically controlled film industry evolved. Right from the beginning stars were an important ingredient to promote films. One of the earliest stars is Theda Bara who appeared in Cleopatra, Carmen and Salome but most of these films have vanished. However, the popularity of the comedians and in particular Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy have survived. Their films are continuously screened worldwide in a variety of formats. The sex Goddesses also seem to hold up reasonably well and in particular Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. The iconic face of Louise Brooks remains popular too. Stills were used to promote films in newspapers and magazines and used as art work for the poster design. Stills were also used to promote the film in campaign books and sales catalogues to entice exhibitors. One of the first stills men to arrive was Clarence Sinclair Bull who came to Hollywood in 1917. Another of the pioneers was Harry Waxman a successful New York photographer who set up a studio in Los Angeles and began to photograph many of the Hollywood stars including Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. Waxman focused on the personality of the star as seen in Waxman’s 1926 portrait of Evelyn Brett.

  • In Hollywood's Early Years, Stars Like Rudolph Valentino and Greta
    BY ARTS SOCIETY LECTURER GERI PARLBY In Hollywood’s early years, stars like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo may have been the public face of the movies, but it was the people who worked behind the cameras who really made the magic happen. They turned hat-check girls, waitresses, cowboys and cab drivers into silver screen icons. Our expert, Geri Parlby, reveals their stories 1. THE SEXUAL ETIQUETTE COACH One of Hollywood’s most unusual coaches was the English romantic novelist and script writer Elinor Glyn, sexual etiquette style guru to the stars. Her romantic novels were the early-20th-century version of Fifty Shades of Grey. They often featured voluptuous ladies reclining on tiger skins, giving rise to the ditty: Would you like to sin / with Elinor Glyn / on a tiger skin? Or would you prefer / to err with her /on some other fur? One of Glyn’s most able pupils was the Italian-born heart-throb Rudolph Valentino. She taught him to kiss the open palm of his leading lady’s hand in the 1922 film adaptation of her book Beyond the Rocks. Apparently that one kiss caused women in movie theatres across the world to swoon. Strangely, Valentino was playing an English lord in the film, which was a departure from his usual role of Latin lover. Having a Latin lover as male lead in a film was a guaranteed box office draw in the 1920s. There was even a set type of characteristics for such a leading man. He had to be handsome, with dark hair and a Mediterranean complexion.

  • Ruth Harriet Louise – Women Film Pioneers Project
    5/15/2021 Ruth Harriet Louise – Women Film Pioneers Project Ruth Harriet Louise Also Known As: Ruth Harriet Louise Goldstein, Ruth Jason, Ruth Jacobson Lived: January 13, 1903 - October 12, 1940 Worked as: portrait photographer Worked In: United States by Mary Mallory A gifted and sensitive photographer, Ruth Harriet Louise worked for less than ten years in her chosen profession, running her own studio for three years in New Jersey before serving as Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer’s head portrait photographer from 1925-1929. Today, photographers and scholars alike study her work, which skillfully captured the character as well as the beauty of her famous clients, encapsulating her theory “that every portrait should just as a motion picture does, tell a story, reveal a character or interpret a mood” (Tildesley). Attention to Louise’s career, however, is a fairly recent phenomenon; at the time of her death in 1940, Louise and her work were largely forgotten. Born Ruth Harriet Louise Goldstein on January 13, 1903, to Rabbi Jacob Goldstein and his wife Klara Jacobsen Goldstein, Louise grew up in New Jersey in the shadow of her older brother Mark, who would later achieve Hollywood fame under the name Mark Sandrich as the director of many Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals. According to The Dayton Herald, her mother pushed Ruth into portrait painting as a substitute for pursuing her own dreams in the discipline. Louise reportedly studied painting and drawing with artist Miles Evergood while also attending art schools. Talented in composition, she, however, discerned no great visionary skills in her painting (“Girl Turns Early Failure to Success”).
