LANA TURNER - Lot 86
LANA TURNER
On the set of John Farrow's film "The Sea Chase", 1955. Photo by Jack Woods, vintage silver print, stamped (including photographer) and annotated on back.
19.7 x 24.3 cm.
Traces of handling, some visible only against the light.
Note: Lana Turner, a major figure of Hollywood glamour, is captured here in an intimate scene combining sophistication and hushed sensuality. This on-set shot, by Jack Woods, reveals the studios' savoir-faire in the art of magnifying their actresses, with elegant staging and carefully crafted lighting. A key icon of the 1950s, Turner embodies a femininity that is both accessible and idealized, which is still the strength of these images today. A seductive period print, at the crossroads of cinema and studio photography, particularly sought-after for its atmosphere and the notoriety of its model.
