From the George Daniell Museum: "During the 1940s he developed a lasting friendship with Georgia O’Keeffe of whom he took a series of intimate portraits while visiting her Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico. The images offered an arresting insight into the secluded life of one of the first female American modernists. Daniell travelled across the country and around the world with his camera and it was during these excursions that he spent several months at the infamous Cinecittà Studios in Rome, taking striking black-and-white photographs of the blooming beauty of young Sophia Loren, and Audrey Hepburn on the set of ''War and Peace”. These portraits are marked by a distinct sense of sensuality and convey a deep-rooted interest in his subjects, constituting some of his most iconic and recognizable works." See less
