The Man Who Shot Garbo

26 May -28 August 1989

Clarence Bull was one of the greats – I was thrilled when I went to MGM to know that he was going to photograph me. I was terrified.

Was I interesting enough?

He had done Garbo for years. The pictures were extraordinary. Her head, his lighting, they combined into something unique.

I felt like a sort of mouse, standing by for a lion. He came; he was easy; he was sweet; he was distant.

Listen, so was I. I was easy; I was sweet; I was distant. We never got to know each other, but I knew he liked working with me, and I knew I liked working with him. In fact, we were both delighted—we were relieved—we were a happy pair and it was fun.

Now I can only say –hey! Wasn’t I lucky? I sure was born at the right time.

Clarence Bull!

And at the National Portrait Gallery!

WOW!

-Katharine Hepburn

Clarence Sinclair Bull was one of the great masters of the Hollywood portrait. As head of the stills department at MGM for over thirty years, he helped to pioneer the art and craft of the film studio gallery portraitist. These images, once regarded merely as anonymous publicity photographs, have now been re-evaluated for their crucial role in both the creation of cinema iconography and the history of twentieth-century portrait photography.

Clarence Bull was the only child of Charles Albert Bull, a cattle rancher, and Bell Sinclair, a Scottish-Canadian schoolteacher from Ontario. He was born on 26 May 1986 near the small town of Sun River near Great Falls in Montana. Brought up on a ranch, his early interest in art was channelled into photography on the advice of the famous cowboy artist, Charles M. Russell, who had given him some lessons in drawing. Throughout school and college, in his spare time, Bull taught himself photography and the rudiments of film-making. He set up a film printing and developing service in his father’s general store, where he also sold his photographs of local Bronco Busters (no. 1) and Western scenes as postcards. One of the customers was Mrs Frank Lloyd, wife of the famous Glasgow-born film director. Through her, he gained an introduction to her husband and an invitation to work as an assistant cameraman in Hollywood. He set off in 1917. During his first years there he worked for a number of film studios as a cameraman and part-time stills photographer, before choosing to concentrate on stills and portrait photography for the newly-emerging film industry. Bull’s first film assignment as assistant cameraman and stills photographer was on Metro’s Breakers Ahead (1918), directed by Charles Brabin and starring Viola Dana. When Metro closed, six months later, Bull moved to Triangle Pictures in their purpose-built studios in Culver City. He was at home there, photographing cowboys as he had in Montana. Triangle Pictures were in turn taken over by Samuel Goldwyn in 1919, and this marked a change in Bull’s full-time work. No longer a film cameraman, he took stills, such as the on-set studies of Helen Ferguson and Lillian Hall for Going Some (no. 6) and later concentrated on portraits of leading players, such as Alec Francis for The Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1922) (no. 9). This early portrait shows Bull’s fascination with creating mood and atmosphere by using low lighting levels (in this case, a solitary candle, which became a recurring motif in his work). Goldwyn Studios were in turn amalgamated in 1924 into a new company, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with Irving Thalberg, the so-called ‘boy genius’, in charge of production, and Howard Strickling, whom Bull was answerable to, at the head of the publicity department.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was arguably the most financially and artistically successful studio in the golden era of Hollywood filmmaking in the 1920s and 1930s. Under the leadership of Louis B. Mayer, the studio claimed that it had ‘more stars than there are in Heaven’. There was a grain of truth in this exaggerated boast, in that MGM employed more stars and talented production staff than any of its rivals. The photographs produced by Bull and those who worked under him popularized MGM’s stars throughout the world.

Bull later estimated that he photographed at least 10,000 separate subjects during his career. Of these, the most famous and most reclusive was Greta Garbo, the so-called ‘Swedish Sphinx’. Born in Stockholm, she was signed by MGM in 1925 after the success of Costa Berling’s Saga, directed by her first mentor, Maurice Stiller. Garbo was the most beguiling and mysterious of all Hollywood’s stars and the legend that grew up around her was one of the great successes of the studio publicity machine, which capitalised on her innate shyness and an un-American dislike of publicity. Her meteoric box-office success and enormous appeal to the movie-going public ensured that the conditions she demanded in return for her continuing work at the studio were usually fulfilled: one of those was that from 1929 onwards she would pose for film and publicity portraits only to Clarence Sinclair Bull. Starting with his mesmeric half-lit and mysterious portraits for her last silent film The Kiss (27 August 1929; nos. 31-2, 34, 147), they together created some of the greatest images in the history of the portrait photograph.

Garbo responded to Bull’s quiet professional approach and spent one or two days after completing each film posing in his studio. He estimated that he had taken over 4,000 individual studies of her during their collaboration, which lasted until she retired in 1941. At each session Bull sought to capture the magic, beauty and inner mystery that Garbo projected in her screen roles. The lighting techniques he devised for her exemplify the complete mastery he exercised over his craft; his portrayal of Garbo in Queen Christina with her face finely modelled using long exposures and soft candle light, and the study of her as the sea captain’s daughter in her first talkie, Anna Christie, illuminated by a ship’s lantern containing a concealed spotlight, are among his most innovative. Bull refined and perfected these techniques alone in his studio, working with a plaster bust or experimenting with his model-turned-actress wife, Jeanne. Garbo’s image defined in her films and in Bull’s portraits influenced not only the look and fashions of a generation of movie-goers, but also of many of her fellow screen stars.

Known as Garbo’s personal photographer, Bull was in demand to enhance the images of all the studio’s top stars. He met Clark Gable on his first day at MGM and quickly established a personal as well as long-term professional relationship as he did with Johnny Weissmuller and many of the other stars. Working at the studio for a number of years gave Bull the opportunity to become familiar with the studio’s stars and the images they wished to project on screen, so that he was able to translate these images into characteristic and definitive portraits. Bull’s portraits of Gable with his co-star of several films, Jean Harlow, from their first film together, Red Dust (no.94), until their last, Saratoga of 1937 (no. 109-10), demonstrate clearly his ability to capture the romantic electricity that they created together on screen. The 1930s were probably Bull’s most creative years in terms of the number of subjects he photographed, but at the start of the 1940s he was ready to portray a whole new generation of up-and-coming stars such as Katharine Hepburn, whose career was relaunched by the success of The Philadelphia Story (1940), Ava Gardner, Robert Mitchum, Greer Garson and Angela Lansbury. Bull experimented with colour throughout his career, starting with the unsophisticated hand-colouring on a portrait of Mabel Ballin as Becky Sharpe for Vanity Fair (no. 16). His first colour success was with a rarely published portrait of Garbo as Marguerite Gautier in Camille (no. 72), but it was not until the late 1940s that Bull was fully able to explore the possibilities of colour photography. As a pioneer in the introduction of strobe lighting and the use of colour, it was appropriate that when Bull photographed a group of 64 MGM stars in 1943 for the Studio’s 20^th birthday he used colour to record in one photograph the largest number of stars ever assembled together from one studio (no. 141).

Throughout the 1950s Bull acted as an ambassador for MGM by giving celebrity lectures and demonstrations throughout the United States to interested photographic and student groups. He still found time to take important photographs for some of MGM’s prestige films, including studies of Claire Bloom for The Brothers Karamazov (no. 139), Leslie Caron for Gigi (no. 137) and Grace Kelly for High Society (no. 142). When Bull died of a heart attack on 8 June 1979, he was in the process of producing a limited edition portfolio of some of his greatest portraits of Greta Garbo, including perhaps his most famous photograph of her from The Kiss (no. 34 and cover). He lived to see his work re-evaluated in a number of important exhibitions and in his own lifetime witnessed the assimilation of his photographs into the legend of Hollywood.

‘The Man Who Shot Garbo, otherwise Clarence Sinclair Bull, was one of the most distinguished of these. As the title of the National Portrait Gallery show suggests, he worked for long years at MGM, and was Garbo’s regular, favourite photographer...Serving the Dream Factory was felt for a while, in the heyday of The Family of Man, to be unworthy, productive of kitsch rather than art. Fortunately now we are broad-minded enough to see the benefits of both approaches. And before the miraculous beauty of vintage Bull images it is very difficult to remain unmoved.’

The Times, ‘Called shots, thrown pots,’ 13 June 1989 – John Russell Taylor

‘Above all, it is his manipulation of light sources, film stocks, special effects and contouring that have ensured his influence upon other photographers since – and other artists, as well, including Andy Warhol. It is ironic that his work had to be collected and exhibited in London before the name behind the classic shots could become more familiar.’

The American, ‘Hollywood image-maker,’ 2 June 1989

‘To have achieved so much before World War II, to have been the icon-maker of such a magical period must have been satisfaction enough to smooth any old age. There is no other photographer who tells us about a film or play so directly, while simultaneously presenting so exacting an image of the actor themselves.’

The Independent, ‘Making Faces in Hollywood,’ 14 July 1989 – Philip Core

‘Bull’s photographs succeeded because they enabled fans to get up close to these semi-divine beings, to inspect their flawless complexions, perfectly plucked eyebrows, diamond bracelets and immaculate clothes – and to conclude, paradoxically, that they were real.’
