About the Item

She's elegant, she's stylish, she's Barbie! This bold and timely photograph is sure to be a hit within your home. As a stunning centerpiece for a quirky living space or dining room, her all-too-human presence is sure to draw attention. Working with a collection of vintage Barbie dolls, Larry Torno set out to illuminate the possibilities of the dolls' interior lives. Animating them with his careful approach to portraiture, Torno imbues a sense of personality and presence into the characters. About Larry Torno: Since 1977, Larry Torno has worked in the graphic design business as a designer, art director, and creative director for companies large and small, from Fortune 500 to Not-for-Profit. In 2004, a trip to Carmel, California changed everything. He was surrounded by the work of Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, and a friend's extensive collection of his personal work of the Great American West. It all awakened in him a personal dream – to elevate his love of photography to the level of creative expression that Torno finds in his design. He bought a camera and started shooting. Today, Torno’s photographic work is an exploration of ideas and observations. He works for the moment when what is in front of him transforms into something not seen before.
