Product description
The soft rustle of tiered silk and the cool stillness of a marble mantelpiece capture a singular moment of 1950s cinematic elegance. In this black and white composition, Ava Gardner stands poised in a lavishly floral ballroom gown, her presence commanding the frame against the intricate textures of a New Orleans period set.
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. Studio photographers used dramatic key lights and soft focus to create Hollywood’s glamorous look. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless.
Styling this Ava Gardner photograph
The black-and-white colour scheme gives this Ava Gardner photograph a clear, confident presence. At 24×36″ it makes a statement above a console in a home office; at 12×18″ to 16×20″ it suits a hallway or gallery wall. Because this Ava Gardner photograph is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look.
