National Portrait Gallery: Star Power: Portraits From Hollywood's Gold Age by George Hurrell (A Sequel)

 Highlights from "Star Power From Hollywood's Gold Age by George Hurrell (A Sequel)."  George Edward Hurrell (1904 - 1992) was a photographer whose early work helped to define the Golden Age of Hollywood.  He was one of the go to guys for iconic portraiture.  His images reflect both the glamour and the magic of a larger than life place and time.

The exhibition is small, but compelling.  I watched as other visitors spent more time engaged in viewing these photographs that they did portrait paintings elsewhere in the museum.
