EVELYN BRENT - Lot 6

EVELYN BRENT Hollywood - Paramount Fashion portrait (the actress in her Art Deco-style dressing room), 1920s. Photo by Otto Dyar, vintage silver gelatin print, captioned (dated label), stamped (including the photographer’s stamp), and annotated on the reverse. 25.2 x 20.4 cm including white borders. Signs of handling (some visible only against the light), particularly on the white borders (small, two-pointed tears). Note: A silent film star and Paramount icon, Evelyn Brent poses here in a sumptuous Art Deco setting. Amid precious fabrics, geometric patterns, and an oriental-inspired aesthetic, Otto Dyar composes an image emblematic of the luxury and visual exuberance of 1920s Hollywood.
