“It's unreal, but it's utterly convincing: Hurrell in a nutshell.”

“His images are icons of the Golden Age of cinema”

“Thanks to the high-quality prints used in this edition, you can look at a close-up of Crawford and count each outlandish eyelash that casts a shadow across her sculpted cheeks; distinguish individual follicles in Bogart's famous stubble; even discern the marbled opalescent texture of Jimmy Stewart's pupils as he gazes off the page.”

“George Hurrell gave the Golden Age of Hollywood its glossy sheen and soft-focus seductiveness.”

“Few photographers truly manage to capture a zeitgeist - fewer still create one ... A fascinating visual commentary on Hollywood at its peak.”

“As the foremost portrait photographer in Hollywood, he gave its stars their sheen of grace and mystery.”

“Stunning images”
