Marilyn: A Magical Dance (PRESALE)

SHIPPING FROM BEGINNING OF JUNE   Marilyn Monroe would have turned 100 on June 1, 2026. To this day, she remains the most alluring, charismatic, and idolized movie star of all time. One evening in 1961, on November 17, the young twenty-seven-year-old photographer Douglas Kirkland had the chance to capture her beauty and charm in an iconic sequence of portraits. In the intimacy of an unmade bed, 'Marilyn. A Magical Dance' presents a series of some of the most spontaneous and enchanting photographs ever taken of Marilyn Monroe. For Douglas Kirkland, every photo session was a dance: a magical and unrepeatable moment, a waltz between the photographer and his subject. This idea of dance becomes the guiding thread of the new volume, conceived as a leporello. The portfolio of images, accompanied by Douglas Kirkland’s handwritten words, unfolds without interruption, transforming the act of reading into an immersive and almost choreographic visual experience. Page after page, the book draws the reader into the story of a brief and seductive encounter between a young photographer and the most iconic and desired woman in Hollywood history.   Details ISBN: 9788862088695 Language: English Pages: 44 Illustrations: 45 Binding: Leporello hardbound | 13 x 20 cm Release: Fall 2026
