Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1930. Two vintage double weight publicity photographs of actress Rose Hobart, circa 1930s. Mimeo snipe on the verso.
From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.
Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
After a successful stage career in the late 1920s, Rose Hobart moved to film acting, appearing in over 40 films over two decades. She was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1949, effectively ending her screen career, although she would eventually take on television roles in the 1960s.
8 x 10 inches. One Very Good plus, lightly toned and edgeworn, one Good, moderately toned, with chips, several pinholes, and wear at the corners and center top edge.
