Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting

Product Information

It's interesting to see such a beautiful photo with this X over it. To me, these are the most spectacular. It begs you to consider that even the most gorgeous people have insecurities many would never classify as a flaw. She had no idea how stunning she was. I see a woman who was everything to everyone, but nothing to herself. What did the Vogue article look like? Did they mention her death?

Other starlets like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor had the pleasure of gracing his lens as well. The question is, why Marilyn? The year all of Bert’s dreams came true. He proposed shooting Marilyn for Vogue, and Vogue said yes. repeatedly gets off on describing her as "childlike" and "vulnerable", so far as comparing it to spying on his 12 year old girl next door as a teenager The last time Marilyn would pose for a studio shoot in front of a camera. Six weeks later, the actress was found dead in her home. Even despite the ominous facts surrounding this sitting, the images it produced project a haunting, almost dreamlike quality unlike any photographs ever taken of the starlet. March, 1962: Vogue arranges a shoot in Los Angeles and Bert does presumably what any man would do had they been allowed an intimate day and night with Marilyn Monroe. He had reserved them a suite at the Bel-Air Hotel; for the art of photography, of course. Although Bert later writes, "making love and making photographs were closely connected in my mind when it came to women,” which makes me question how appropriate this "professional" day actually was. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.Bert Stern was born on October 3 in Brooklyn, NY. He was a whopping age of 33 when he got this break-of-a-lifetime. stands over her as it makes him feel powerful while she's reluctant and distant, then shouts at the crew for someone to "turn her on"

Die vielfach zu diesem Werk geäusserten Kritiken an den Bildqualitäten sind völlig belanglos und tragen der visuellen Kraft der Fotos eher bei als sie zu schmälern. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean, on June 1 in Los Angeles, California. She had just turned 36 at the time of the photo shoot. This book presents the complete set of 2,571 photos. The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography, both in quantity and quality. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the world's finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Vogue published The Last Sitting series one day after Monroe’s death, giving the public an intimate portrait of the star in the wake of tragedy. Though the magazine usually includes a list of designers in its shoots, editors chose to eschew its focus on the clothing and eliminated fashion credits, instead featuring only the photos as homage to the star. The shoot captured the nation’s imagination and has since inspired countless spreads, including a 2008 cover shoot featuring Lindsay Lohan in New York Magazine, photographed by Stern himself.Hardcover.

Customer reviews

Beginning today, visitors to the Paris exhibition hall (and car dealer) DS World can experience the elegance and vulnerability of Stern’s series in the exhibition “ Marilyn, the Last Sitting,” on view until January 6, 2018. The photos are featured alongside DS car models, including a rare, bright-red DS 21 Cabriolet from 1966. He writes very candidly in this book about his great desire to have Marilyn if he could. How did this go from a Vogue fashion shoot to a nude shoot? The photos exude a sultry, almost love-at-first-sight feeling. They didn’t know each other at this point, yet I feel like the photos embody a familiarity Marilyn might have felt with Bert. And the intimacy doesn’t end there. August 6, 1962: Vogue September issue was on press about to be printed when news broke of Monroe's death. Die Vogue - Auftragsfotos im ersten Teil dieses Buches kann man getrost übergehen, da wird Couture der frühen 60er routiniert präsentiert, was aber in der Privatsession zwischen Stern und Monroe passierte, ist von ganz anderer Qualität und nur schwer in Worte zu fassen.
