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, 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 cinema 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 cinema stars and French culture with glamour and in black and white. Photos were taken in a bright, distinctive, highly recognizable style. This typical Harcourt style consisted of a close-up portrait, with its best lighting, where a halo of light and shadows was usually created on a background ranging from gray to black. The subject's pose was personal, often with a slight smile. Harcourt appears very prominently in every photograph.
