Norma Shearer in publicity for Smilin' Through, 1932
"Gowns by Adrian."
With Fredric March.
With Leslie Howard.

The UNTOLD GAZE is a large format fine art book - 11x11 inches hardbound, 160 pages, full color - a collection of almost ninety of Stephen's paintings paired with short fiction and poetry inspired by his work.
