Photograph signed: "Francesco Scavullo" in silver ink. B/w,
8x10. Francesco Scavullo (1921-2004) is an American fashion
photographer best known for his celebrity portraits, particularly those that
appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. Born in New York City,
Scavullo began his photography career with his father's camera using his sisters
as models, and after graduating high school began working in a studio that
produced fashion catalogs. He soon moved on to Vogue magazine where he
spent three years as photographer Horst P. Horst's assistant, eventually winning
a contract with Seventeen magazine in 1948 and opening his own studio in
Manhattan. Some of Scavullo's portraits have been controversial, such as the
nude Burt Reynolds centerfold for Cosmopolitan, "overly sexual" images of a
young Brooke Sheilds, and his closed relationship with Gia Carangi. He has also
made many film and Broadway posters, for productions such as the film A
Star is Born (1976) featuring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson,
as well as a portrait of Julie Andrews for the play Victor
Victoria (1955). Corners rounded. Ink spot on verso. Fine
condition.
