Lot Essay

The images represented in lots 347-353 from Bernard's Hollywood Legend Series were featured in a 50 year retrospective exhibition of his work held at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in 1984. Bruno Bernard was the first stills photographer to be honoured by the Academy in this way.

Bruno Bernard told a reporter that around 1945 he ...told [Peck] to forget his war role. You remind me of Lincoln. For me, his face was a reconstruction, a rebirth of Abraham Lincoln. Think of the Gettysburg Address.. [Bernard to Maria Shriver, CBS Interview, 1984].
