Description:
1932 Vintage Rare Art Deco Garbo Photoplay Cover- Color Earl Christy Artwork! Absolutely divine image of Garbo done in 1932 by artist Earl Christy for the August issue of Photoplay. Beautiful radiant and oh-so elusive quality is captured perfectly here in a wonderful composition deftly employing light and shadow to create a dramatic mood which enhances Garbo's magnificent bone structure to perfection. Using a palette of deep turquoise blue with lettering and background framing Garbo's hauntingly lovely profile and a wonderful sense of illumination on her blonde tresses and blue eyes, Christy has created a portrait that any fan of Art Deco in general or Greta Garbo in particular would swoon over. Photoplay Magazine ranked high among the studio-operated fan-mags of the period which helped to promote stars and the industry. Earl Christy was always at his best with a beautiful woman as his subject- this portrait of Garbo at the height of her radiance, glamour and fame is a gem. Cover only- measures 10 x 12- overall condition is bright and sharp some wear to the edges slight tears as well- uncommon image you will enjoy for years to come.
