GRETA GARBO - Lot 15
GRETA GARBO
During the shooting of Robert Z. Leonard "Susan Lenox - Her Fall and Rise" (Courtesan), 1931.
Photo, vintage silver print, MGM production stamp and annotation on back.
23.7 x 18.5 cm.
White cut edges. Traces of handling mostly visible only against the light.
Note: A mythical figure of Hollywood cinema, Greta Garbo is one of the greatest icons of the studio's golden age. This highly stylized portrait plays on a marked contrast between light and shadow, highlighting the purity of her features and the almost sculptural dimension of her face.
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, this print testifies to the aesthetic refinement of promotional portraits of the period, designed to forge the legendary image of stars.
Period photographs of Greta Garbo, particularly those from MGM productions, are among the most sought-after on the market, due to their rarity and iconic status.
