Born in Philadelphia in 1913, Arnold didn\u2019t become a photographer until she was in her 40s. She went on to become as well known for her photographs of Hollywood stars, like Marilyn Monroe, as her photojournalist coverage of the Civil Rights movement and documentation of life across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>The only formal training Arnold received was a course with Alexei Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research. On assignment for that course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magnumphotos.com\/arts-culture\/fashion\/eve-arnold-fashion-in-harlem\/\" target=\"_blank\">Arnold spent time photographing the fashion industry of Harlem<\/a> in 1951, a largely ignored facet of the fashion industry. Those photographs were run the following year by <em>Picture Post <\/em>magazine, as no US publication would take them. That series of photographs became Arnold\u2019s break. In 1962, she moved to London, where she would live until her death in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1950s, she became the first woman to join the Magnum agency, whose co-founder, Robert Capa, described Arnold\u2019s body of work as landing \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2021\/mar\/11\/unseen-eve-arnold-photos-of-marilyn-monroe-offered-as-30-posters\">between Marlene Dietrich\u2019s legs and the bitter lives of migratory potato pickers<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, a series of 15 photographs, a number of which have never been seen, are being released as posters by Arnold\u2019s estate to keep her work alive and to introduce the late photographer to new generations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2021\/mar\/11\/unseen-eve-arnold-photos-of-marilyn-monroe-offered-as-30-posters\" target=\"_blank\">According to Michael Arnold<\/a>, the release and its mission reminds him of stories Arnold told him of her first show in London where she sold prints of her work at a fraction of their worth so art students could afford them; however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.art-critique.com\/en\/2019\/11\/matrescence-at-richard-saltoun\/\" target=\"_blank\">Arnold<\/a> later found out that art dealers had snapped up the discounted works only to turn around and resell them.<\/p>\n<p>The poster release exemplifies the breadth of Arnold\u2019s works. One image shows a Mongolian woman training a horse in a beautiful green pasture while another captures a loving and playful moment between a Cuban fisherman and his family. <em>Civil Rights Activist Training<\/em> shows a Black woman reading her book as she\u2019s trained to ignore abuse and <em>Baby\u2019s First Five Minutes<\/em> captures an intimate moment that speaks to Arnold\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evearnold.com\/about-eve\" target=\"_blank\">self-described obsession with birth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A series of unseen photos from the set of <em>Misfits<\/em>, the 1961 film, offer a different side to Marilyn Monroe, who was not only a fan of Arnold\u2019s but also a friend. The photos show Monroe working, at times unaware that her photo is being taken. \u201cThere is something about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evearnold.com\/posters\/unseen-marilyn-monroe-in-her-car\" target=\"_blank\">the one where she\u2019s in the car<\/a>,\u201d Michael Arnold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2021\/mar\/11\/unseen-eve-arnold-photos-of-marilyn-monroe-offered-as-30-posters\" target=\"_blank\">told<\/a> <em>The Guardian<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s not the typical glamour shot you often see with Monroe, there\u2019s an ordinariness about it \u2026 she is going about her craft, she\u2019s learning her lines. There\u2019s something about the composition which makes it special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe themes she photographed are ever-present, if not more so \u2013 racism, sexism, inequality \u2026 not to mention the humanity she brought to her work,\u201d continued Michael Arnold. It\u2019s that humanity emanating from each and every photograph that ties Arnold\u2019s body of work together in a stunning fashion. And now, you can bring Arnold\u2019s work into your own home.<\/p>\n<p>The poster collection can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evearnold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">evearnold.com\/posters<\/a> and are available from today 11<sup>th<\/sup> of March.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographer Eve Arnold once remarked \u201cI would prefer photography to be a folk art \u2013 cheap and available to everybody, rather than elevated to mandarin proportions created through an artificial scarcity.\u201d It was that quote, seen by Arnold\u2019s grandson, Michael Arnold, who now manages her archive, that inspired a collection of prints released as posters [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
