Rare Original 1937 Gelatin Print, "Melodrama", by Will Connell
About the Item
The subject is a close-up portrait of a mustachioed, menacing film actor. Titled "Melodrama", this image was first published in Connell's book, HOLLYWOOD NOIR (1937), a collection of satirical studies of the Hollywood film industry. It is in the permanent collection of the University of California Museum of Photography.
Will Connell (1898-1961) was a member of the Camera Pictorialists along with Edward Weston, Louis Fleckenstein, and others. He was one of the first photojournalists, and for fifteen years turned out a monthly column for U.S. Camera entitled Counsel by Connell. In addition to HOLLYWOOD NOIR, Connell produced three photography books: IN PICTURES (1931), THE MISSIONS OF CALIFORNIA (1941), and ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY (1949).
