Hollywood Unseen is a tribute to the incredible inventiveness & ingenuity of the great Hollywood film studios: Columbia Paramount MGM Universal Warner Brothers RKO & Twentieth Century Fox. From the late 1920s to the early 1950s these studios presided over the Golden Age of Cinema & their publicity departments created some of the most stunning & iconic images of Hollywoods stars ever taken. Here for the first time are photographs showing the ordinary lives of the stars including Rita Hayworth Gary Cooper Humphrey Bogart & Marilyn Monroe. In reality these photographs were as carefully constructed & prepared as any classic portrait or scene & they depicted the actors & actresses exactly as the studios wanted them to be seen. The publicity departments cleverly formed an idealised view of the husbands wives children pets parties premieres & hobbies of the stars. Ironically many of the images were only used once or twice & were then never seen again. Drawn from the extensive archive of the John Kobal Foundation this book showcases an extraordinary collection of these hidden photographic gems. John Kobal was an authority on Hollywood portrait photography who established a preeminent collection of works featuring iconic stars of the day. The Getty Image Library in London will be hosting an exhibition of these images to coincide with the publication of this book. ...
