Question 1

What was Eve Arnold famous for?

Accepted Answer

Eve Arnold was famous for her work as a photojournalist. Arnold photographed many of the iconic figures who shaped the second half of the 20th century. Yet, she was equally comfortable documenting the lives of the poor and dispossessed. Her joyful picture of a Cuban couple with their child was selected in 1955 for the world-touring Museum of Modern Art exhibition The Family of Man and seen by nine million visitors. Arnold’s images of Marilyn Monroe on the set of The Misfits (1961) were perhaps her most memorable, but she had taken many photographs of the actress from 1951 onward. Her previously unseen images of Monroe were shown at a Halcyon Gallery exhibition in London in May of 2005. She also photographed Queen Elizabeth II, Malcolm X, Marlene Dietrich, and Joan Crawford and traveled around the world, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan.
