1935 Judy Garland, "Americas Young Superstar" Portrait by Clarence Sinclair Bull

Amazing early vintage photo of a 13 year old Judy Garland taken by famous MGM photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull.    Clarence Bull photography alone is in high demand by collectors, but one of an iconic figure as Judy Garland is in a league of its own !  A breath-taking portrait of Garland, one of her earliest taken just as she became one of MGM’s most valuable assets.   

1935 Extremely early studio photo of Judy Garland from the genesis of her career. Stamped on the back by famous MGM photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull and file stamped by Underwood and Underwood, this is her finest early portrait photo we have ever handled!

Provenance:  Has invaluable provenance on back with the studio snipe where it mentions Judy is 13 years old.  The film "Broadway Melody of 1937" was probably in production in 1935 when Judy was selected for this role and this photo was taken, when she was 13.   Hence the photo was probably shot by Clarence Bull in 1935. 

Condition: Amazing Original Un-restored Condition

Photographer BIO:
Clarence Sinclair Bull was an American photographer best known for his portraits of Hollywood icons. He was an expert in the technical aspects of photography, including lighting, retouching, and printing. Born on May 22, 1896 in Sun River, MT, he won his first photography competition at the age of 14. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1918, Bull moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry. He worked as an assistant cameraman at Metro Pictures, where he shot stills of actors during production breaks.
After Metro Pictures merged with Goldwyn, he became head of the stills department at the new MGM in 1924. From 1929 to 1941, he worked primarily with Greta Garbo, but during his 40 year career at MGM, he also photographed Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor. Bull died on June 8, 1979 in Los Angeles, CA. Today, his works are held in the collections The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among others.
