CYD CHARISSE - Lot 95
CYD CHARISSE Hollywood Leggy publicity portrait... 1950s. Photo, silver print on vintage matte card stock, stamped and annotated on back. 25.3 x 20.5 cm including blank edges. Note: An emblematic figure of Hollywood musicals, Cyd Charisse here embodies all the controlled sensuality and sculptural elegance of 1950s cinema. This publicity portrait, typical of studio production, highlights her lanky figure and her image as an iconic dancer, widely exploited by Hollywood. The composition, sober and structured, accentuates the line of her legs - the actress's visual signature - in a studied interplay of glamour and sophistication. A vintage silver print on cartoline paper, this type of photograph was intended for the press and film promotion, and is now sought after for its aesthetic quality and its importance in the history of the Hollywood image. A fine example of studio portraiture, combining technical mastery and iconographic power.
