Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe by Norman Mailer Hardcover Book

Description: Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe by Norman Mailer, Bert Stern Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Sensual, artistic, and cerebral, this volume pairs Norman Mailers classic book Marilyn with Bert Sterns intimate "last sitting" portfolio to trace the complexity and the allure of an incomparable screen siren. An inspired synthesis of literature and art, this book is a tribute to Monroes vulnerability, intelligence, and eduring charm. Publisher Description "This book is really two books. It is a biography, and it is also a pictorial retrospective of an actress whose greatest love affair was conceivably with the camera," wrote Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography, Marilyn.TASCHEN has paired Mailers original text with Bert Sterns photographs from the legendary Last Sitting-widely considered the most intimate photographs of Monroe ever taken-to create a fitting tribute to the woman who, at the time of her death in 1962, was the worlds most famous, a symbol of glamour and eroticism for an entire generation. But though she was feted and adored by her public, her private life was that of a little girl lost, desperate to find love and security. Mailers Marilyn is beautiful, tragic, and complex. As Mailer reflects upon her life-from her bleak childhood through to the mysterious circumstances of her death-she emerges as a symbol of the bizarre decade during which she reigned as Hollywoods greatest female star. This book, conceived by Lawrence Schiller, Mailers collaborator on five works, combines the authors masterful text with Sterns penetrating images of the 36-year-old Marilyn. Photographed for Vogue magazine over three days at the Bel-Air Hotel, Marilyn had never allowed such unfettered access, nor had she looked so breathtakingly beautiful. Six weeks later, mysteriously, she was dead. In this bold synthesis of literary classic and legendary portrait-sitting, Mailer and Stern lift the veils of confusion surrounding Monroe-the woman, the star, the sex symbol-and offer profound insight into an iconic figure whose true personality remains an enigma even today.
