About the Item

Chanel Demonstrates Sitting, 1957 -- Coco Chanel demonstrates how one must contort oneself to get into the car when wearing the complicated dresses of some couturiers who shall be nameless. Mark Shaw's informal, grainy, black and white images of Coco Chanel were created using an unobtrusive 35mm camera and film processing methods that enabled him to eliminate all other photographic equipment. Although Shaw's techniques increased the grain and contrast of the photographs, the lack of intimidating, distracting flash and lights allowed him to capture an unusually relaxed Chanel. Image size is 13.75" x 20" (for 17" x 22" paper size). All Mark Shaw prints are made to order in limited editions on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. Each print is Estate stamped on the back and signed and numbered by David Shaw, and accompanied by a letter of authenticity. Lead time is four to six weeks, but we often receive them sooner. *Please note this image is available in several sizes. Prices increase as editions sell out. A black and white photograph of Coco Chanel sitting. She is wearing a skirt, blazer, and a hat. She squats down to demonstrate how one would need to contort themselves to fit into a car. A woman a bit out of frame looks and smiles at Coco Chanel. Behind Coco Chanel is a table of bolts of fabric.
