Cowboy Cinema

Location: The Warhol theater

The black and white image is taken from the 1939 black and white film, Stagecoach, starring the American actor John Wayne. In the image, actors John Wayne (on the left) and Claire Trevor (on right) face one another, in conversation. Wayne’s demeanor and expression are calm as he casually leans onto the wooden fence standing in between the two of them. He loosely wears a wide-brimmed, tan cowboy hat and a dark jacket. On the right, Trevor leans in towards Wayne. Her attitude appears serious—her brows are wrinkled and her hands are held closely together resting on the fence. Though the background is out of focus, the dim outline of tree branches suggests that the two are outside. At the bottom of the image there are subtitles in Farsi translating the dialogue. Translation is not available.

The photo is a black and white portrait of a woman with dark hair and eyes. Her hair reaches her shoulders and is parted on the side, a portion covers her left eye. She is looking directly at the camera and smiling. She is wearing a dress that reveals her shoulders and has accessorized it with circular earrings and a necklace with a charm at the end, it appears to be a symbol or letter. Behind her one can see a portion of two abstract paintings, very much with patterns similar to her necklace.
