“Star Power: Photographs from Hollywood’s Golden Age by George Hurrell” at National Portrait Gallery
About The Event
During the 1930s and early 1940s, George Hurrell (1904â1992) reigned as Hollywoodâs preeminent portrait photographer. Hired by the Publicity Department at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) when he was only twenty-five, Hurrell advanced rapidly to become the studioâs principal portraitist. With a keen eye for artful posing, innovative lighting effects, and skillful retouching, he produced timeless portraits that burnished the luster of many of the âGolden Ageâsâ greatest stars.
