Product Description
Howell Conant (1917-1999) first met Grace Kelly on a 1955 modelling assignment, and the two found an instant easy rapport. From then until Grace`s untimely death in September, 1982, Conant was always present in Grace`s life - in New York City, in Jamaica, in Hollywood, in Monaco - to make the most intimate pictures of this astonishingly lovely person. (In fact, his attendance at the princess` funeral marked the very first time he travelled to Monaco without his camera. ) Many of the sublime images in this book appeared in the pages of “ Life” , “ Look” , “ Paris Match” , “ Collier`s” and other magazines. Several of the photographs are published for the first time. Grace was Howell Conant`s greatest subject, and he was her friend, confidante and perfect portraitist. She has been gone for over two decades now, but she-and their friendship will live forever in these pictures.
