About the Item

"Marilyn Monroe and Paula Strasberg" 16 x 24 in Ed. 57/75 by Lawrence Schiller Silver Gelatin print Edition 57/75 Signed and numbered by the artist Printed later Marilyn Monroe and Paula Strasberg shared an intense, complex relationship where Paula, wife of Method acting guru Lee Strasberg, served as Marilyn's personal acting coach, confidante, and surrogate mother figure, guiding her craft but also becoming a controversial presence on sets, seen by some as interfering and fueling Monroe's method acting struggles, especially during filming of The Misfits and Something's Got to Give, with their dynamic deeply impacting Monroe's professional and personal life leading up to her death. Lawrence Schiller: Director, Author, and Hollywood Photographer. Marilyn Monroe is a constant presence in American culture, perhaps because she helped usher in a new era of sexuality. As she changed from the ingénue Norma Jean to the glamorous Marilyn, the country also changed, demanding and consuming her legendary sexual radiance; she completely captured the hearts and minds of America.   Her persona still entrances the world; several of the pictures from the shoot appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine, accompanied by the risqué text reading “Marilyn Monroe, a skinny-dip you’ll never see on the screen.” After the shoot, Lawrence Schiller’s prominence continued to grow. He worked in multiple capacities as a director, an author, and a Hollywood photographer. He would shoot other Hollywood legends through his adventurous, fresh eyes, although Marilyn would remain an essential part of his career. Schiller worked for LIFE, Paris Match, Time, Newsweek, and Stern and directed seven motion pictures.
