Framed Hollywood Regency Art

Glitz and glamour. Why are these words important? They are the center of framed Hollywood Regency artwork! The 1930s were a hard time for many, with the Great Depression ravaging the nation, so the eye needed something to provide a glimmer of hope. The Golden Age of Hollywood did just that, and so a new style of art was born.

When one is down in the dumps, seeing something beautiful can really brighten the spirits. Hollywood starlets are often featured in framed Hollywood Regency art, and they are usually seen draped over puffy stuffed chairs and wrapped in rich fabrics. Chris Consani, for example, created “Glamour” to show off the always-lovely Marilyn Monroe in black and white, adorned with her feather boa. No star is complete without their intriguing setting, as seen in Roy Schatt’s “James Dean, New York, c. 1954.”
