This powerful and visually striking image by Iris Brosch blurs the line between photography and painting, creating a dreamlike composition that evokes themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and artistic transformation.
Two nude women are intertwined on a disheveled bed, their bodies partially adorned with expressive brushstrokes of blue, red, and white paint. Their gazes are intense—one staring directly at the viewer while the other lies back, her face half-obscured by her companion’s hand. The contrast between the softness of their skin and the rough, painterly marks gives the piece a raw, almost surreal quality.
Brosch’s use of body paint references classical art, particularly the works of Egon Schiele and Lucian Freud, where the human form is both celebrated and dissected through expressive strokes. The added colors bring out an emotional depth, symbolizing passion, bruising, or even the artistic process itself, as if the subjects are emerging from the painting.
The setting—a bed with crumpled sheets, discarded stockings, and black shoes—enhances the sense of intimacy and realism. It feels like a moment captured between lovers or close friends, suspended between comfort and tension. The choice of muted, earthy tones in the background, contrasted with the vibrant painted hues on the women’s bodies, deepens the sense of contrast between reality and artistic interpretation.
This work exemplifies Brosch’s signature fusion of classical beauty, feminist perspective, and painterly photography. By turning the human body into a living canvas, she challenges conventional notions of femininity and desire, celebrating imperfection, strength, and raw emotion.
The German artist, photographer, and director Iris Brosch, is known internationally for restoring dignity and strength to the image of women in fashion photography. Brosch’s unique celebration of sensuality moves in fresh and fascinating directions in her ability to rework timeless classicism with a thoroughly modern twist. The work of Iris Brosch is and isn’t anything we have seen before. It is Raphaelian. It is Modern. It is mystical and ethereal, anchored by the weight of a powerful mind.

Marilyn Monroe on set of Somethings Got To Give, 1962
By Lawrence Schiller
Located in Chicago, IL
When Lawrence Schiller got the assignment from the French magazine Paris Match to photograph Marilyn Monroe on the 20th century Fox set of Something’s Got To Give, he thought nothing of it. It wasn’t to be a private, studio shoot. He wasn’t going to set up lights, create backgrounds, use a tripod. Just another assignment, he figured. Monroe by then was firmly established as a figment in the imagination of most young men. The orphan Norma Jean had recreated herself as the blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe. She’d appeared in twenty-nine films by the time Schiller photographed her in black and white and color in May 1962. The world was unprepared for the moment when Marilyn jumped in the swimming pool in a flesh-colored bikini and came up out of the water au natural. She was all smiles and in her element: the sex goddess...
