Summary:
Bruno Bernard, professionally known as Bernard of Hollywood, was a superlative glamour photographer of Hollywood's golden era. He was called variously the "Rembrandt of photography", the "king of Hollywood glamour," the "discoverer of Marilyn Monroe" and the "Vargas of photography". He fled Hitler's Germany in 1937 with a degree in criminal law, but turned to photography. His first studio, opened 1942 on the Sunset Strip, became a Hollywood landmark. Branches in Palm Springs and Las Vegas followed. In 1984, he was the first still photographer honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for his portraits of such legends as Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Elizabeth Taylor, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe, etc. His work was also commemorated in New York by MoMA and the International Center of Photography. He published six books.
Bruno Bernard, bekannt unter seinem Kunstlernamen Bernard of Hollywood, war einer der grossten Glamourfotografen im goldenen Zeitalter Hollywoods. Man feierte ihn immer wieder als den "Rembrandt der Fotografie", den "Konig des Hollywood-Glamours", den "Vargas der Fotografie" und kannte ihn als Entdecker von Marilyn Monroe. Als er 1937 aus Nazideutschland floh, hatte er einen Jura-Abschluss in der Tasche, wandte sich bald darauf jedoch der Fotografie zu. Sein erstes Studio, das er 1942 auf dem Sunset Strip eroffnete, wurde zu einem der Wahrzeichen Hollywoods. Dependancen in Palm Springs und Las Vegas folgten. 1984 wurde er als erster Fotograf uberhaupt fur seine Portrats von Filmlegenden wie Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Elizabeth Taylor, Ginger Rogers und Marilyn Monroe von der Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ausgezeichnet. Seine Arbeiten wurden mit Werkschauen im New Yorker Museum of Modern Art und im International Center of Photography gewurdigt. Er veroffentlichte sechs Bucher.
