Bob Willoughby Art
American, 1927-2009
Bob Willoughby was an American realist artist and photographer, born in 1927, in Los Angeles, California. He was most-loved for his photojournalistic motion picture stills capturing famous faces, including Audrey Hepburn and Frank Sinatra, demonstrating an ability to capture film stars in unguarded moments of repose and vulnerability. Between 1948-54, he also shot iconic moments of US Jazz history. In 1955, Edward Steichen selected one of Bob's images of a screaming female audience, to be included in the landmark 1955 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, “The Family of Man”.
Bob's photographs are now held in major collections worldwide, including at the National Portrait Gallery, in Washington DC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, the National Portrait Gallery, in London, Tate, in London and the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris.

By Bob Willoughby
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Bob Willoughby received his first break in 1954 when Warner Brothers asked him to photograph Judy Garland on the set of A Star Is Born, for Life Magazine. Willoughby's career went from strength to strength from that point on and he quickly became one of the most sought after photographers of his time.
Willoughby was the first outside' photographer employed by studios to document the making of films. His work forms a visual who's who of cinema, rock and jazz music, theatre and dance over 20 years. He covered the making of over 100 films including The Graduate, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and My Fair Lady, and had a unique ability to capture the individual essence of each film he documented. His sitters include Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Dustin Hoffman, Chet Baker, Elvis Presley and The Rat Pack.
Our exhibition will include iconic images of a multitude of stars from the 1950s and 60s, including Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft on the set of The Graduate, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra casually playing Blackjack at the Sands Hotel...
