"When the cameras would roll, whether it was a still camera or a movie camera, she'd come alive. Marilyn was really an actress. The 'dumb blonde' image was just a total performance."
~ Lawrence Schiller
Few understood Marilyn Monroe’s command of the camera better than Lawrence Schiller. His photographs remind us that what the world often mistook for effortlessness was, in fact, something far more deliberate - an extraordinary performance shaped by intelligence, instinct, and presence.
Come experience this, along with many other extraordinary photographs, in our upcoming exhibition Marilyn Monroe: A Silent Life, on view through September 5th.
