Calla Editions for the Contemporary Bibliophile Intimate photographs of the luminous movie star from the summer of 1953 unseen until now Marilyn, August 1953 The Lost LOOK Photos Photographs by John Vachon Edited by Brian Wallis 10 5/8 x 9 128 pages 100 duotone photographs Printed endpapers Hardcover with jacket 1-60660-011-7 978-1-60660-011-5 $30.00 US In the summer of 1953, John Vachon, then a photographer for LOOK magazine, drew the assignment to cover three American films being shot on location in the Canadian Rockies. In one of those shoots, Vachon captured a Marilyn Monroe rarely seen in the thousands of carefully styled photographs issued by her studio and handlers. Here is the reigning movie star of the 1950s with her guard down, giving Vachon unusual access and repeated opportunity to capture her sexual charisma as the ultimate girl next door. Unexplainably, only two of these magnificent pictures made their way into the magazine. The rest were filed away for nearly sixty years until now. Facsimiles of Vachon s handwritten daily letters to his wife and insightful original essays on both Marilyn and the photographer make this book a treasure for Marilyn collectors as well as lovers of fine photography. A Calla Editions Original. Photographer Profile John Vachon (1914-1975) earned his stripes as a documentary photojournalist while a member of the renowned Farm Security Administration (FSA) group that included Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Arnold Rothstein, and others all now recognized as titans of twentieth-century photo graphy. After his time at the FSA, Vachon shot more than 450 assignments for LOOK magazine. His pseudo-candid sessions with Marilyn Monroe in 1953 captured a reigning Hollywood star as mere mortal (though a gorgeous one). In his ability to present her humanity without either idealization or guile, he s given the legions of Marilyn fans worldwide a very rarely seen portrait of their idol. Sales Points Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) rivals Elvis Presley as the most enduring pop-culture icon of the twentieth century. She is the perennial subject of countless photo books, magazines, and television biopics. LOOK magazine (1937-1971) was, along with its rival LIFE, emblematic of a mid-twentieth-century Golden Age in American photo news magazines. After the magazine folded, its founders donated their photo archives to the Library of Congress. Among the thousands of files of negatives stored there is a treasure of Marilyn photos taken by a staff photographer, of which only two had ever seen publication in the magazine. Brian Wallis is Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York. Everyday Discount of 50%: Become a Preferred Gift Shop see page 3 for details 5
