Lili and Errol – the BIG question did he or did he not?

17 Feb

 For Kathleen and Robert – Is he on his way to get hitched or not? 
 Is it 1935 or is it 1938 – 1939?


 Close up picture – cropped from Kathleen's picture!
 Now compare the above picture with the four pictures below!
 Below Errol in 1938 – 1939!

   
                           Pictures made by George Hurrell!
  
                                                                This is a wonderful mask 1938

I think this what Errol looked like in 1935 – agreed?


 Who is going to win the price?

— Tina

    Maybe he decided to not comb his hair or shave the week the pictures were taken???? Robert wins, of course!

    Yes, Kathleen “Robert the Great”!
    This guesswork is great, I like it and you keep us on the toes!

    What about this mask? Who made it and how? Does anybody know?

    (I've been on the road this past week) The first picture is not from his trip to get married (he wasn't sporting a mustache at that point); the next three pics are from the 1939 George Hurrell sessions, shot around the time of “Elizabeth & Essex”; the mask is, in actuality, not a mask but an illustration by contemporary artist, Richard Atkins, based on the Hurrell shot just above it in Tina's attachments; and, finally, yes–the photo is of Flynn in 1935. What “price”, exactly, do I win?!

    Thank you very much! Now the one who posted the question will certainly tell you what “price” you have won. Maybe a dollar note from 1935?

    In fact, if this is an illustration, why did the artist leave out the eyes?

    In the artist's own words:
    “In the 'Idols' series (44 paintings in all), I used the theme of masks for two reasons. In both primitive and highly developed cultures, using masks as part of the drama art form to advance clearly the story is commonplace. I extended this use to include the stereotyping of performers in Hollywood's “Golden Age” and rendered the faces of numerous performers in this mask style.”
