Product Overview
In 1945, photographer Andre de Dienes searched the Los Angeles model agencies for a young woman to pose in artistic portraits. A girl named Norma Jean Baker introduced her self. Captivated by her fresh, appealing innocence, de Dienes escorted his protege through the western United States, photographing her in a variety of moods and settings. This is the private album of Andre de Dienes, and it celebrates a Marilyn never seen before.
