AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Studio Harcourt of Paris, formerly known as Studio Harcourt, is a photography studio founded in 1933 by Cosette Harcourt at number 11 on Christophe-Colomb Street in Paris. In 1934, the Lacroix brothers joined as press chiefs and Robert Ricci, son of Nina Ricci. This studio is well known for its black-and-white photographs of film stars and celebrities. Owning a photograph taken in the studio was considered a standard for the French upper middle class.
Cosette Harcourt began to specialize in photographs of film stars and French culture with glamour, in black and white. Photos were taken in a luminous and distinctive style that was highly recognizable. This typical Harcourt style consisted of a close-up portrait, with the best lighting, where a halo of light and shadow was usually created over a background that ranged from gray to black. The subject’s attitude was personal, often with a slight smile. Harcourt is very visibly present in every photograph.
