Robert Farber is a contemporary American photographer best known for his iconic images of nude women. “One day I was walking on Miami Beach and saw a very large woman wearing the tiniest string bikini I had ever seen, sitting on the beach, knitting. I thought to myself, ‘I wish I had a camera.’ I suddenly saw photography as a way to capture a moment for storytelling,” he has explained. Born on February 29, 1944 in Newark, NJ, he took an interest in art from a young age but went on to study business and marketing in college. In 1970, Farber moved to New York and began taking photographs in a style which had the soft-focused look of a painting. These works gained the attention of advertising agencies and the artist began working on campaigns for Cotton Incorporated. His sensual photographs of the 1970s led to him being hired by both Playboy and Penthouse. Farber has gone on to publish several successful photobooks, including Natural Beauty (2001) and American Mood (2004). He currently lives and works in New York, NY. Today, the artist’s photographs are held in the collections of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City and the International Center of Photography in New York.

One of his biggest spot news assignments was covering the Lindbergh kidnapping case. Coming to California, Kelley was retained to photograph the stars created by David 0. Selznick and Samuel Goldwyn including Ingrid Bergman. A few of his other most famous subjects have been Gary Cooper, Greta Garbo, James Cagney, Clark Gable, Winston Churchill, Bob Hope, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Jack Benny, John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt and, of course, Marilyn Monroe, with and without clothes. His easiest photo subject? Clark Gable. His toughest? Joan Bennett. Following a long and profitable career helping to publicize motion picture personalities, he drifted the commercial advertising/photography field where he has remained as one of the leading exponents in the business. Of course, his most famous image was of Marilyn Monroe nude...Category
