Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold, 1955
“She had learned the trick of moving infintesimally to stay in range, so that the photographer need not refocus but could easily follow movements that were endlessly changing. Often she would seem a shimmering, molten wraith. She could be elusive, tantalizing. For each photographer she would be different, responding to the vibrations, but using herself and bringing forth different facets of herself…it was magic. With her it was never a formula; it was her will, her improvisation. She captured the imagination and heightened the atmosphere.”
- Eve Arnold on Marilyn Monroe
