A wild spirit, as fleeting as thought itself and as intense as the light that played on her. Marilyn was the fantasy. If Marilyn were still for an instant, her beauty would evaporate. With her, it was like photographing light itself. I had all kinds of imagery floating around, and she was picking up on it, performing it all. We hardly talked to each other at all. We just worked it out. With Marilyn I wanted to shoot fast. His series should then also be seen in the context of multiple series of images of Marilyn by various photographers and the iconographic references the images make.

The iconic photographs of Marilyn with Carl Sandburg in Beverley Hills taken by Arnold Newman show Marilyn troubled and unhappy, months before she died. However, there is a world of a difference between the context of the two poses in the nude. By she had become an awe-inspiring icon who had the stature, despite all her difficulties in her professional and private life, to prompt even Stern to tell her and probably to himself too at one point Those equally well-known images with Marilyn holding a Nikon camera, not on view at the exhibition at the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi because not part of the selection originally established by Stern, echo the 15 May Vogue cover photo, by Irving Penn, showing Suzy Parker with a camera.

Stern also mentioned The influence of this image would be wrong not to notice in the portrait with necklace where Marilyn wraps her hands around her neck. Her neck of course, because Marilyn obviously could not put her hands on her iconic hair!

It also has to be added that Marilyn had her own Hollywood idols, Jean Harlow most notably, that served as personal iconographic references. Also, there are references to illustrations of her on some of the film posters on view as an appendix to the exhibition: References to the female nude go back at least to The Birth of Venus by Botticelli and its subsequent representations. References to this theme are particularly tangible in the use of the veil, ultimately going back to the Old Testament, and especially in the posture in Marilyn in a sheet smiling. He is a photographer. The Source by Ingres and The Young Ladies of Avignon by Picasso 29 provide models for women raising one arm or both over their head in their intimacy.

These paintings, however, bear no iconographic relations with The Last Sitting. And Marilyn indeed performed all the postures of the unnamed Venuses as well as the postures of the ordinary and named women, but acting them out single-handedly, she elevated all of them to the status of a modern icon: Hopefully, a re-edition of this volume will be published in the near future: Stern has always seemed to be categorical despite his admitted hesitations all along the sittings.

But in the final analysis, it does not matter at all: This encounter was exceptional because the two made it so with their own contributions and then events in life also put their hand in and turned these images into The Last Sitting. Walker Evans, The Magazine Work. New York, , 9— Conception by Lawrence Schiller, photographs by Bert Stern. Many thanks go to Emeline Jouve, of Champollion University Centre in Albi, for drawing my attention to the event in the first place and for her encouragement.

For the prices realized and the description of the lots, see http: There were two additional lots, of one print each, that came from The Last Sitting but were separate from the selection of 59 images. It means that the very sombre and melancholic series of black and whites, and no nudes, had been selected before they became a visual obituary. The absence of nudes of Marilyn from the Vogue portfolio is also curious since they had published nudes earlier of other models. After the book was published in June , the collection of photographs Schiller had put together was inaugurated at the Hotel Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles before going on a world tour Schiller It adds to the uncertainty that Stern Moreover, there was a short third occasion where Marilyn posed for Stern after a day off after the second, fashion, sitting — which would likely add up to five calendar days.

In sum, the four days only work out if the first occasion is considered as a reservation for one night and the second occasion a span of three calendar days. Moreover, the very last photographs of Marilyn Monroe were taken by his friend and photographer George Barris just a couple days before her death. Contents - Previous document.
