THE MISFITS

"The Misfits" by Magnum photographer Inge Morath (1923-2002) documents the filming of The Misfits movie, where Marilyn Monroe is the leading star. Morath worked on the set as Henri Cartier-Bresson's pair. Even though Marilyn posed excellently, Morath has managed to photograph more delicate expressions and postures of Marilyn. Morath's photographs, casting Marilyn as extraordinary sensitive and girlish, have attracted huge worldwide attention. According to Arthur Miller, Marilyn's husband at the time, screenwriter of The Misfits, Morath's shots capture not only a certain empathy, sensitivity and joy of life but also agony accompanying fame. The Misfits remained Marilyn's final finished performance.

The Inge Morath Foundation / Magnum Photos is the foreign producer of the exhibition.
