New previously unseen photos of Marilyn Munroe have been released for a limited time to selected galleries across the UK.
The collection is open now, at the Meller Gallery in Witney, Oxfordshire, and will only be available until Christmas.
This group of intimate shots were taken by world renowned photographer, Eve Arnold, who was close to the star.
Eve says: “[Marilyn] trusted me and she was a joy to photograph. She liked my pictures and was canny enough to realise that they were a fresh approach to presenting her.”
“By seeing Marilyn through photographs – the only way most people ever saw her – it may be possible to get some idea of how she saw herself and perhaps to glean some insight into the phenomenon that was Marilyn Monroe.” [Source]
She looks gorgeous, just as she always did…that’s why she’s ‘photo of the week!’
Hope you all enjoy them!
