InventoryCollection Number: 17607Building: Central LibraryCurrent Location: Storage Room 303Floor: Lower Level/Vault Object DescriptionArtist: Orval HixonArtist Dates: 1884-1982Artist Nationality: AmericanObject Type: PhotographDetails: This is a sepia-toned photograph of an unknown vaudevillian starlet. Framed: Yes - GlassLength: 25 inchesWidth: 1 inchHeight: 31 inchesDescription: In this portrait a vaudevillian starlet strikes a bashful pose, positioning her hands over her chest and the scarf of sheer material draped over it. She wears a headscarf and haircut typical of the flapper style. Although she turns her face away from the camera, she keeps a sensuous eye directed at it. Photo manipulations applied by Hixon in the development process emphasize her eyelashes while other markings obscure the bottom edge of the photograph and consequently her breast. By obscuring her figure and enhancing her gaze at the same time, Hixon pronounces the starlet's allure in this photograph.
