Est: €1,600 - €2,000
Gelatin silver print Hollywood, USA, c. 1949; printed later Bruno Bernard aka „Bernard of Hollywood“ (1912-1987) – US-American pinup photographer Inscribed in black felt tip pen lower right ‘from the estate of Bernard of Hollywood’ Typographically signed within the image lower right ‘Bernard of Hollywood‘ Verso inscribed in black pen ‘from the estate of Bruno Bernard‘ as well as fitted with the estate stamp ‘From the estate of Bernard of Hollywood Executor‘ Image dimensions: 32 x 26 cm; sheet dimensions: 35.5 x 27.5 cm Frame: 63 x 53 cm Good condition The Hollywood photographer Bruno Bernard promoted Marilyn Monroe’s career from the very first beginning; the present print is part of his ‘Palm Springs Racquet Club Series’, executed in c. 1949 Object is regular taxed. 19% VAT is added to the purchase price for deliveries within the EU. Condition The gelatin silver print is in good condition, consistent with age. The paper is a bit wavy and the edges show minor blemishes. The image dimensions are 32 x 26 cm and the sheet measures 35.5 x 27.5 cm. The framed overall dimensions are 63 x 53 cm. Bruno Bernard (1912-1987) Bruno Bernard was born in Berlin and received a doctor’s degree in criminal law from Kiel University. Bernard became a Jewish leader in the underground movement. In 1937, he had the opportunity to emigrate to America. As he had no formal training in photography, Bernard moved to Hollywood, where he became an apprentice for Max Reinhardt’s acting studio. The young photographer opened his first studio at Sunset Blvd. and soon came to the attention of agents and Hollywood professionals who deliberately called him ‘Bernard of Hollywood’. His characteristic ‘pinup’ style is regarded as his most important photographic achievement. He portrayed some of the most famous stars of his time, including Rita Hayworth, Elvis Presley and Clark Gable. Bernard also had a very close relationship with a young girl that was initially called Norma Jeane and later became Marilyn Monroe, one of the most iconic women in the world. Bernard continuously supported Marilyn’s career and produced some of the most famous pictures of her. In the 1960s, Bernard became active as a photojournalist in Berlin, before he returned for his retirement to Palm Springs and L. A.

Est: €960 - €1,200
Gelatin silver print USA, 1986; printed later Bruno Bernard aka „Bernard of Hollywood" (1912-1987) - US-American pinup photographer Estate stamp on the verso 'From the estate of Bernard of Hollywood Executor'; signed 'Sue Bernard' (artist's daughter) Signature lower right 'Bernard of Hollywood' Image size: 33.2 x 26.6 cm Good condition Bruno Bernard had a very close relationship with Marilyn Monroe and accompanied her even before the rise of her career; the auction record for a Monroe portrait currently sets at €15,000 The present gelatin silver print reveals a photo collage by Bernard of Hollywood, in which he presents a selection of his most beautiful portraits of Marilyn Monroe. The center is captured by a full length shot of the world star posing as a typical pinup girl. The work appears very programmatic for the artistic output of Bernard of Hollywood, because he is especially known as the inventor of the 'pinup' style. The gelatin silver print is verso fitted with the estate stamp 'From the estate of Bernard of Hollywood Executor'; the artist's daughter, Sue Bernard, acts as the executor and therefore signed the work by hand. The portrait reveals a signature lower right 'Bernard of Hollywood'. The work is in good condition considering its age. The edges are only slightly wavy. The work has been framed under a mat using photo corners. The image size is 33.2 x 26.6 cm and the size of the sheet is 35.5 x 28 cm. The framed work measures 63 x 53 cm.
