Douglas Kirkland
Marilyn Monroe - Nude Between White Sheets, Vintage Fine Art Photography, 1961

1961

About the Item

Photograph by the legendary Douglas Kirkland of Marilyn Monroe. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Marilyn Monroe is an easily recognizable icon on her own. Douglas Kirkland created stunning imagery by photographing her nude, rolling between white linen sheets. The white sheets surrounding Marylin like soft waves let her pink skin and iconic eyeliner shine, creating a graphic piece. The lightness of the image adds to its sensual yet melancholic nostalgia. Ever since the young Kirkland eternalized Marilyn Monroe, white sheets, and nothing else, the star photographer has been catapulted into stardom. Dubbed ‘Hollywood’s favorite photographer,’ the late Kirkland has shot over 100 movie sets, from ‘Titanic’ to ‘The Sound of Music.’ While his photographs of icons, from Brigitte Bardot to Andy Warhol and Angelina Jolie, are of the same soft and intimate energy as his early Marilyn shoot, these testaments to the world of motion pictures border on the magical. Tender or larger than life – Kirkland had mastered every tonality.
