Product description
This black and white portrait features the legendary actress seated backwards in her personalized director’s chair, looking directly into the lens with quiet confidence. The composition highlights the stark contrast between the crisp white canvas backing and the intricate houndstooth pattern of her tailored garment.
About Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner (1922–1990) was a Hollywood star of the 1940s and 1950s, known for The Killers and Mogambo. Mid-century glamour photography captures the style of the film stars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Hollywood studios employed portrait photographers to shape each star’s image for magazines and publicity. Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead.
