Well, Glib... er, Trib... I was actually using a type of visual shorthand meant to evoke the ruddy skintone of those portraits. I'm well aware of the unmatched expertise that went into Hurrell's photography (including the not-entirely-believable assertion that Hurrell photographed Crawford without make-up and "applied" the make-up through retouching later), but I don't really want much interest in dressing my friends up in Adrian gowns and having them crawl across divans like latter day Norma Shearers. Thanks for the help, though.(posted 8763 days ago)
