Andre de Dienes was born in 1913 in what is now Romania. After arriving in Paris in 1933, he became a photographer for the Communist newspaper L’Humanité. He began working as a fashion photographer for Parisian couturiers and moved to New York in 1938 with the help of Esquire magazine editor Arnold Gingrich. In New York he photographed for Esquire, Vogue and Life. In 1951, de Dienes moved to Hollywood and began to photograph movie stars and to experiment with nudes and landscapes. His memoir Marilyn Mon Amour was published in 1985. In 2002, Taschen published de Dienes monumental monograph simply titled Marilyn. In addition, 24 books of his nudes have been published. His work, can be summed up no greater than in the following quote; ‘Dienes was a man not interested in the glamour or the politics of his work. For him it was about creating something beautiful and nurturing, an idea of the feminine ideal.'[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] In his memoirs he remembers the first time he met Norma Jean vividly and with much affection and enthusiasm; “ When Norma Jean arrived at my bungalow later in the afternoon, it was as if a miracle had happened to me. Norma Jean seemed to be like an angel. I could hardly believe it for a few moments. An earthly, sexy-looking angel! Sent expressly for me! The impact Norma Jean had on me was tremendous. As minutes passed, I fell more and more in love with Norma Jean; there was an immediate rapport between us. She responded to everything I said. She started to look around in my room examining all the pictures I put on the walls and began asking questions. I had the immediate feeling that she was something special, something different from most girls and models I had met before her, mainly because she was so eager to ask questions about me and the pictures I put on the walls. She wanted to know many things right away, she was interested in me! She was utterly sincere; she did not wish to speak about herself, except when I asked her my own questions. She was sincere in wanting to know who I was and what I was doing with my life, and I began to amuse her exceedingly with all sorts of stories that ran through my mind and I just kept dishing them out to her. I still remember it as clearly as if it happened just recently“

Andre de Dienes – Love Affair

ben Hollywoodba költözött, valószínűleg a Vogue inspirációja nyomán. Diénes naplója szerint, elégedetlen volt azokkal a merev korlátokkal, melyek a korabeli divat- és aktfényképezést meghatározták, s amelyeket éppen Munkácsi Márton kezdett megújítani. Diénes itt új környezetben, új feltételekkel dolgozhatott. Aktokat és divatfotókat készített a szabadban, nem műtermi környezetben. Minden képe tele volt érzelemmel, szenvedélyességgel. A természet, a kaliforniai táj, a szinte állandó napsütés erősen hatottak rá, képein a környezet és modellje szépségét egyaránt hangsúlyozta. Olyan aktfotós volt, aki szinte minden modelljébe rajongásig beleszeretett. His series of pin-up shots of her at Long Island's Tobay Beach, in Oyster Bay, New York became notable. [3] In 1949, while in New York on a publicity tour for “Love Happy”, Marilyn called de Dienes. She said “Andre, Let’s take pictures again! Let’s make history!” After buying her two swimsuits and two parasols, he drove her to the isolated Tobay Beach in Long Island. In these photographs, Marilyn adores the camera almost as much as it adores her. Scampering confidently and joyfully on the beach, hair golden, skin luminous, body ripened, she is on the brink of stardom and feels it. These photographs show her startling transformation from shy Norma Jeane into sex kitten Marilyn. In 1949 or 1950, the aspiring actress overheard someone at a party call her a “chinless wonder”, she secretly went under the knife, postponing a screen test claiming that she had fallen on her chin. When she finally took the screen test, the director said “Honey, you should have cut your chin two years ago.” It is unknown whether these photos were taken before or after her surgery. De Dienes called numerous modeling agencies until an agency sent over a young lady who had been camping out in the office, eager to get her start in Hollywood. ben jelent meg a Marylin Mon Amour c. fekete-fehér fényképválogatása, amely több kiadást is megért.
