Caricatures Gertrude Lawrence Singer Stylised
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stylized caricature of the renowned actress and singer, Gertrude Lawrence, created by the talented hand of Garretto in the late 1930s. Gertrude Lawrence, born in 1898, was a British-American stage and film actress, as well as a celebrated singer, who graced the stages of London and Broadway with her magnetic presence. At the time this caricature was created, Lawrence was making waves on the London stage with her lead role in Noël Coward's provocative and witty play, "Private Lives." Coward's play, which premiered in 1930, is a classic tale of marital discord and rekindled passion, and Lawrence's portrayal of the complex and tempestuous Amanda was widely acclaimed. Garretto's caricature brilliantly captures the essence of Lawrence's stage persona, with her bold, expressive features and confident, alluring gaze. The highly stylized, almost abstracted, representation adds an intriguing layer of depth to the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of both Gertrude Lawrence and Garretto's artistic vision. This print is not only a captivating work of art but also a significant historical document, providing a window into the world of mid-20th century theater and the remarkable career of one of its most beloved and iconic figures.
