Marilyn Monroe. Ediz. inglese

Le foto di Marilyn Monroe in “Last Sitting” di Bert Stern, scattate poche settimane prima della sua morte, si fondono con la controversa biografia di Norman Mailer del 1973, dando vita a questo ritratto intimo di una donna enigmatica, una celebrità mondiale che ebbe una fine tragica. Con il loro lavoro riunito in un unico libro, Mailer e Stern sollevano il velo su un’icona del cinema. . âE.oeThis book is really two books. It is a biography, and it is also a pictorial retrospective of an actress whose greatest love affair was conceivably with the camera,âE. wrote Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography, Marilyn. Now TASCHEN has paired Mailer’s original text with Bert Stern’s photographs from the legendary Last SittingâE.”widely considered the most intimate photographs of Monroe ever takenâE.”to create a fitting tribute to the woman who, at the time of her death in 1962, was the world’s most famous, a symbol of glamour and eroticism for an entire generation. But though she was feted and adored by her public, her private life was that of a little girl lost, desperate to find love and security. Mailer’s Marilyn is beautiful, tragic, and complex. As Mailer reflects upon her lifeâE.”from her bleak childhood through to the mysterious circumstances of her deathâE.”she emerges as a symbol of the bizarre decade during which she reigned as Hollywood’s greatest female star. This book, conceived by Lawrence Schiller, Mailer’s collaborator on five works, combines the author’s masterful text with Stern’s penetrating images of the 36-year-old Marilyn. Photographed for Vogue magazine over three days at the Bel-Air Hotel, Marilyn had never allowed such unfettered access, nor had she looked so breathtakingly beautiful. Six weeks later, mysteriously, she was dead. In this bold synthesis of literary classic and legendary portrait-sitting, Mailer and Stern lift the veils of confusion surrounding MonroeâE.”the woman, the star, the sex symbolâE.”and offer profound insight into an iconic figure whose true personality remains an enigma even today. . Bert Stern’s “Last Sitting” photos of Marilyn Monroe – taken just weeks before her death – merge with Norman Mailer’s controversial 1973 biography of Monroe into this intimate portrait of an enigmatic woman – a global celebrity with a tragic end. With their work combined in one book, Mailer and Stern lift the veil on a film icon.
