KATHERINE HEPBURN - Lot 161
KATHERINE HEPBURN Fashion publicity portrait, 1930s. Photo, vintage sepia silver print, stamped and annotated on back. 25.7 x 20.5 cm including white borders. Note: This publicity portrait shows Katherine Hepburn in an elegant, modern posture, characteristic of the image she imposed on Hollywood in the 1930s. The natural, almost androgynous attitude and sober clothing reflect a break with the traditional glamour codes of the time, helping to build her image as an independent, assertive woman. Sepia studio prints from this period, often intended for the press or studio promotion, are sought-after for the quality of their light and their importance in the history of Hollywood photography.
