Artist

Gunn & Stuart

Gunn & Stuart is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Gunn & Stuart spent their days snapping photos of actors in costume, backstage and under the lights. They caught performers mid-laugh or mid-frown, long before Photoshop or selfies. Their pictures feel alive because the sitters often forgot the camera was there. Hunt down Guy Little’s 19th-century box of their prints at a London archive and you’ll see why these two made the stage look bigger than the lens.
