Description

Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane) oversize prints (2) shot by Andre de Dienes in 1945. Oversize 11 x 14 in. double-weight gelatin-silver fiber prints (2) shot by Andre de Dienes in 1945 and estate signed and stamped by his widow Shirley in 1992, from his original negatives. Subjects here are: young Norma Jeane in Western wear, leaning seductively on weathered fence rail; and dressed for skiing, sitting happily in the snow. From the photo tour she took with de Dienes up the entire West coast of North America in 1945, which resulted in numerous magazine cover appearances, launching her career as a model prior to any film work. Very fine.
