Free exhibition: Marilyn Monroe's photos by Greene

Data publikacji: Autor:

Milton Greene had been photographing Marilyn Monroe for years, but the fantastic pictures wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for the friendship, which was born between the photographer and his famous model.

Marilyn became almost a family member of Greene's, and this is why nowadays, watching the work of Greene, we have the impression that the actress didn't need to pose. She was just having a good time.

Joshua Logan's 1959 film "Bus Stop" would probably have gone into oblivion (despite an Oscar nomination for actor Donald Patrick Murray), if it wasn't for the fact that it featured Marilyn Monroe. The presence of the divine blonde not only increased the film's rating, but boosted the interest already during the filming. On the set, Marilyn Monroe was accompanied by her court photographer, Milton H. Greene. It is his photos that are presented in the Engraver's House (Dom Miedziorytnika) from 17 February to 24 March.

The exhibition is worth seeing, as not too often are such valuable works exhibited in such an intimate setting. The photographs are part of a vast collection of three thousand original photos by Greene, which Wroclaw has purchased.

And the photographs feature, among others, Marilyn adjusting her heel on her way back from the set, or singing scantily dressed, but also shots from specific scenes.
