Academy Awards 1 Portraits - $500 (Medford, NJ) Very rare...originally purchased in Hollywood for $3.00. A number of years ago the prominent artist, Nicholas Volpe embarked on a venture or recording, through portraiture, the stars who had received the Academy Award since they are were conceived in 1927. And, so he began to haunt the picture morgues of the Hollywood studios, for many of the recipients had passed on. he searched private collections, film libraireis, old magazines for any bit of information, that would help him in rendering the studies. The very first winner, Emil Jannings, who onw the the award in 1928 for "The Way of All Flesh," was hardly an auspicious start for Volpe, for nowhere could he find any satisfactory material on what Mr. Jannings looked like as he grew old in the film. In desperatrion Volpe looked up Ern Westmore, the make up artist who actually made up Emil Jannings, and from Westmore's verbal description of the make-up, the portrait was accomplished. This is a complete Portrait Collection of Academy Award Winners.....very suitable for framing. In the artist's mind the theme was now set as to how to interpret the whole vast project-- whenever an actor or actress altered their identifty in characterization. Volpe decided to draw a dobule portrait -- as the players really looked and as they appeared in the characterization. Then notice how in the single studies the theme of characterization is handled -- a kind of smile, a kind of frown, a quality in the eyes, the set of the ead, a suggestion of costume-- all contributing to the end result. ...the complete collection of portraits in charcoal of the best performance by an actor and actress since 1928 through the year of 1961. I have taken a few examples below. Sophia Loren, Marlo Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly Here's the list
