Coco Chanel Sits on Divan, 1957

2018

About the Item

Coco Sits on Divan, 1957 -- Coco Chanel sits on her massive beige suede divan talking on the phone with a cigarette dangling from her lower lip. She dislikes phoning and gets it over with quickly. All things in keeping with the Chanel legend can be found in this luxurious salon including the pill boxes. "I take one to pep me up, the other to calm me down so I can sleep." 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 10" x 15" (for 11" x 17" 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 in her salon on her divan. She is wearing a suit with a hat and a cigarette. She is talking on the phone. This is also an interior photograph of her salon. She has a huge divan. Behind there is a wall of books. There is a mirror with a decorative frame hanging on the wall interrupting the bookcase. On both sides of her sofa, there are tables with a glass lamp. There are other armchairs around a coffee table with ornate legs. Hanging from above, there is a chandelier.
