When they met at a party in the early 1950s, Marilyn Monroe remarked to Eve Arnold that she’d seen the photographer’s images of Marlene Dietrich. ‘If you could do that well with Marlene,’ Monroe said, ‘can you imagine what you could do with me?’ A star in her day and one that continues to captivate the world, Monroe's multifaceted persona is brilliantly captured through Arnold's lens in this revised and redesigned edition of the 1987 publication, Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation.
Including newly discovered and restored photographs in colour and in black and white, alongside insightful commentary, Eve Arnold takes us on a photographic journey of Monroe's life. A detailed biography in Arnold's own words allows a rare glimpse into the stories behind the photographs and her unique relationship with Monroe. As these two female artists come together in the creation of this stunning photographic collection, an important historical testimonial has been actualised, showing women striving in a male-oriented world and succeeding in reaching the top of their game.
