SOPHIA LOREN - Lot 154
SOPHIA LOREN
During the filming of Charlie Chaplin's "A Countess from Hong Kong" (dress by Marc bohan for Christian Dior), 1967.
Photo, vintage silver print, captioned and annotated on the back.
25 x 20.5 cm.
Note: Set photograph of Sophia Loren in an intimate scene in front of a mirror, during the shooting of the last film directed by Charlie Chaplin. She is wearing a Marc Bohan creation for Christian Dior, reflecting the close dialogue between cinema and haute couture in the 1960s.
The composition, which plays on reflection and the mise en abyme of the gaze, is part of a refined, sophisticated aesthetic characteristic of international productions of the period. The double point of view - bare back and reflected face - reinforces the iconic dimension of the portrait.
The prints associated with A Countess from Hong Kong, Chaplin's only film shot in color and in England, are sought-after for their historical importance, marking the end of the filmmaker's career and the meeting of two major figures in international cinema.
