EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louisa de Mornand, a French actress of the early 20th century. Taken in 1928 by the renowned Reutlinger Studio, this image captures the essence of elegance and grace that defined Louisa's persona. Louisa de Mornand, also known as Marthe Montaud, was not only an accomplished actress but also a close friend of Marcel Proust, the celebrated writer. In fact, she served as his inspiration for Rachel's character in his masterpiece "A la recherche du temps perdu" (In Search of Lost Time). This connection to one of literature's greatest minds adds another layer of intrigue to her already fascinating story. The portrait exudes a certain timeless quality that is characteristic of early 20th-century photography. The delicate play between light and shadow highlights Louisa's refined features and expressive eyes. Her poised demeanor hints at both strength and vulnerability, capturing the complexity often associated with women during this era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era filled with artistic brilliance and cultural sophistication. It serves as a reminder not only of Louisa de Mornand's contribution to cinema but also her significant influence on one of history's most revered authors. Jaime Abecasis has masterfully captured this moment from history through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. Through his skillful composition and attention to detail, he allows us to glimpse into the world that once was - where beauty met intellect on stage and inspired literary masterpieces offstage.
