Relaxing, Miller Place | 14A Small
A pioneer for female photojournalists, Eve Arnold is one of the most influential photojournalists of the 20th century. Expressing their very essence in each photograph, Arnold photographed her subjects in an intimate and informal manner.
A master of black and white and colour photography, Arnold’s photographs of Marilyn Monroe are some of her most famous works. The pair developed a deep sense of companionship throughout their decade-long friendship.
Photographed in Miller Place, Long Island, where the actress would spend her summers, the black and white image is a testament to Eve Arnold’s artistry. After a promotional tour in 1955, Arnold was set on capturing not only the craziness that always surrounded Monroe but glimpses of life behind the spotlight and her mood behind the scenes. The perfect composition of light and shadow, combined with the informal capture of Marilyn in her environment, show Arnold’s ability to photograph people in the most natural way.
Fascinated by Monroe’s natural ability in front of a camera, Arnold captured the actress in a way no one else had, in her quiet and vulnerable moments. Arnold’s candid images exhibit the often-unseen side of Monroe, showing the softness and innocence of her authentic self. The photographs captured on The Misfits set are among the last ever taken of the famous actress.
In a career spanning six decades, Eve Arnold photographed people from all walks of life, from the Hollywood elite and political figures to manual labourers. With curiosity as her biggest driving force, Arnold showed incredible bravery throughout her career, putting her commitment to capturing reality above all else, making her photographs a part of history.
A holographic, silvered certificate with archive approved facsimile of Eve Arnold’s signature accompanies each numbered edition.
Each limited edition is a hand-printed silver gelatin print produced from the original negative by Arnold’s long-standing photographic print-maker Glen Brent. The images have been printed on AGSA multi-contrast fibre-based fine art paper.
Arnold’s original negatives are retained by Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University.
