Mark Shaw
Coco Chanel Lies on Divan, 1957

2018

About the Item

Coco Lies on Divan, 1957 -- This photo, published in LIFE in 1957, shows Coco Chanel, aged 74, at her apartment on the Rue Cambon in Paris reclining on her massive divan. In notes taken from the LIFE picture library, it was noted that Mark Shaw “crept as close to Chanel as anyone is ever likely to get with their Leica on. She said so herself.” Mark Shaw's informal, grainy, black and white images of Coco Chanel were created using an unobtrusive 35mm camera and film processing methods that enabled him to eliminate all other photographic equipment. Although Shaw's techniques increased the grain and contrast of the photographs, the lack of intimidating, distracting flash and lights allowed him to capture an unusually relaxed Chanel. Image size is 32" x 48" (for 36" x 52" paper size). All Mark Shaw prints are made to order in limited editions on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. Each print is Estate stamped on the back and signed and numbered by David Shaw, and accompanied by a letter of authenticity. Lead time is four to six weeks, but we often receive them sooner. *Please note this image is available in several sizes. Prices increase as editions sell out. A black and white photograph of Coco Chanel lying on her divan. She is wearing a suit with black details. She has her hands behind her head and a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth. This is an interior shot of her home in Paris. Behind her sofa is a library of books. There is a small table with a lamp and a telephone behind her. Her hat is resting on her armchair. In front of her sofa, there is a small coffee table with items on top.
