Product description
There is an unmistakable tension in the gaze of Ava Gardner, captured here during the filming of the 1952 Western epic. Leaning against a weathered wooden post, her expression balances soft elegance with the grit required for a frontier drama.
About Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner (1922–1990) was a Hollywood star of the 1940s and 1950s, known for The Killers and Mogambo. Studio portrait photographers of Hollywood’s golden age used dramatic lighting to create the glamour of the stars. The original image dates from 1952. Studio photographers used dramatic key lights and soft focus to create Hollywood’s glamorous look.
Styling this Ava Gardner photograph
This Ava Gardner photograph pairs a moody atmosphere with a black-and-white palette that is easy to build a room around. In a home office, “Lone Star” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. In black and white, “Lone Star” works with any colour scheme; a slim black frame with a wide white mat gives it a gallery finish. Build a gallery wall around “Lone Star”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its black-and-white and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
