Ruth Harriet Louise

The quintessential jazz baby, Joan Crawford is captured coyly beckoning at the viewer in this large format, double weight gallery photograph by Ruth Harriet Louise. The most important female photographer in Hollywood during the golden age of film, Louise is remembered for her ability to make the spirit of the art deco jazz age come alive.

Ruth Harriet Louise, the groundbreaking female photographer who created some of the best known 1920s jazz age Hollywood portraits for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, here captures Mae Murray at her most provocative and playful. Her “bee-stung lips” are on full display in his orientalist inspired and erotic sepia view. Large double-weight photographs such as this were never intended for widespread distributions, and were hand printed by the photographers themselves.
