About the Item

"West Side Story" Natalie Wood Film Costume Design Academy Award Oscars Iconic Irene Sharaff (1910-1993) "West Side Story" Natalie Wood as Maria Costume Design, 1961 Film Sight: 15 1/4 x 11 1/4 inches Gouache, watercolor, pen and ink on board Signed and inscribed: Sharaff, West Side Story, Maria, Natalie Wood (lower right) Framed: 21 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches Sharaff was nominated for an Oscar for her "West Side" film designs. She designed the costumes for the original 1957 Broadway production of "West Side Story." We have a second Sharaff drawing from "West Side" available - if the Skarks. A photo of that is included on this listing. BIO Irene Sharaff is recognized as one of the most celebrated costume designers for Broadway and Hollywood. After training in fashion illustration, she assisted noted designer and costume historian Aline Bernstein. Like her mentor, she was able to combine her knowledge of historical detail into the requirements of each individual project. Praised for her manipulation of color and historic detail, Sharaff costumed over 50 Broadway plays and musicals and received 8 Tony™ nominations, winning for The King and I, as well as dance works for Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine. Equally at home in Hollywood, she earned 15 Oscar™ nominations, winning for West Side Story. She received the Theatre Development Fund’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. That service organization has also established an annual Irene Sharaff Awards program which honors Lifetime Achievement, a Young Master, and a Master Artisan (costume shop, millinery, shoemaker, etc.) for their contributions to the field.
