Description

Eve Arnold began photographing Marilyn Monroe after the actress saw her pictures of Marlene Dietrich in Esquire. They met at a party and Monroe asked: “If you could do that well with Marlene, can you imagine what you can do with me?” So began their professional relationship, which, over the years, turned into friendship. Arnold photographed Monroe six times over the decade she knew her; The Misfits being the longest of these sessions.

Seen here, Monroe rehearsing her lines in the Nevada desert before filming a challenging scene with Clark Gable.

The platinum process provides the most even range of tonality, resulting in a creamy luminosity not achievable through other techniques. In contrast to the traditional silver process, the image is not suspended in gelatin but rather absorbed directly onto the paper, providing greater visual depth to the photograph. Due to its stability as a noble metal, platinum is the most durable of all print processes, offering unmatched resistance to fading.
