Product description
There is a particular kind of tension in the heavy shadows of 1930s studio lighting that defines the Golden Age of cinema. This monochromatic composition captures a quiet moment between stars Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald for the 1936 MGM drama, San Francisco.
About Clark Gable
Clark Gable (1901–1960) was called ‘the King of Hollywood’ and starred in Gone with the Wind (1939). Studio portrait photographers of Hollywood’s golden age used dramatic lighting to create the glamour of the stars. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless. The original dates from 1936.
Styling this Clark Gable photograph
Black, white and gold tones give this Clark Gable photograph a moody character that holds a room. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre in a home office; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. The black, white and gold palette of this Clark Gable photograph glows beside warm wood, brass and deep green or navy walls; finish it with a slim black frame with a wide white mat.
