Artist’s Bio:

"Bert Stern (1929-2013) pioneered a photographic aesthetic, with emotionally direct images that strove not only to showcase the human figure but also to capture a sense of the subject's psychology. ""What makes a great model is her need, her desire; and it's exciting to photograph desire,"" Stern once said.

American photographer Stern was one of the last artists to photograph Marilyn Monroe, in June and July 1962 for Vogue magazine. Monroe died in August 1962. These sessions became known as The Last Sitting. The 2571 photographs taken during these sessions were published in Marilyn Monroe - The Complete Last Sitting (1992)."
