Herbert Jan20 Madame Marjorie Mask Masks Sequinned Yevonde


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white portrait, Mrs. Richard Herbert, formerly known as Marjorie du Pre, is depicted deep in thought as she gazes at a theatrical mask held in her hands. The photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in 1932, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the subject, as well as her connection to the world of theatre. Mrs. Herbert is dressed in a sequinned top, adding a touch of glamour and allure to the image. The mask, with its intricate details and expressive features, serves as a visual representation of the complexities and mysteries of the human psyche. The contrast between the stillness of Mrs. Herbert's pose and the dynamic nature of the mask creates a sense of intrigue and wonder. Madame Yevonde, whose real name was Evelyn Mary Brown, was a pioneering figure in the field of portrait photography. Known for her innovative use of lighting and dramatic poses, she was particularly renowned for her portraits of women, often depicting them in elaborate costumes and theatrical settings. This photograph of Mrs. Richard Herbert is a prime example of her unique style and artistic vision. The image is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a person and to evoke emotions and thoughts in the viewer. It invites us to ponder the role of masks in our lives, both metaphorically and literally, and to reflect on the complexities of human identity. Overall, this portrait by Madame Yevonde is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
