SENTA BERGER AND ALEXANDRA STEWART - Lot 229
SENTA BERGER AND ALEXANDRA STEWART
Close-up portraits, 1970s. 2 photos, silver prints on vintage cartoline paper, annotated on the backs.
25.5 x 20.3 cm each.
Note: This set features two close-up portraits of Senta Berger and Alexandra Stewart, two major figures of European and international cinema in the 1960s-1970s.
The images, characterized by tight framing and great attention to detail, illustrate the photographic aesthetic of the period, somewhere between studio photography and natural portraiture. The frontal nature of the faces and the quality of the prints highlight the photogenic qualities of the actresses, while reflecting the visual codes of the press and film promotion of the period.
Senta Berger, an Austrian actress with an international career, and Alexandra Stewart, a figure of French cinema and the Nouvelle Vague, each embody a form of feminine modernity specific to the 1970s.
The coherent sets of portraits of actresses from this period are sought after for their aesthetic quality and documentary interest in the history of cinema.
