This large, unpaginated book includes more than 100 of her "movie star" photographs, including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Lon Chaney and Norma Shearer. Strongly influenced by Cubism and German Expressionism, Louise excelled in creating storytelling portrait photos of the early film celebrities. Her photographs appeared on the covers of magazines, sheet.music, promotional items like postcards, cigarette cards, and MGM publicity marketing This very large, 285-pg, softcover/wraps book displays an array of her photos (in black/White and some in color). Written by Robert Dance and Bruce Robertson, the 1st edition, published in 2002, by University of California Press, was a companion to a Santa Barbara Museum of Art traveling exhibition of her work. In very good, clean, bright and unread condition, the book is a fine addition to any vintage Hollywood film collection or to a collection of women photographers, who historically paved the way for other women..
