  • Eve Arnold is an American photojournalist and was the first female member of the Magnum Photos agency (in 1951, becoming a full member in 1957). Arnold was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to immigrant Russian-Jewish parents, William (born Velvel Sklarski) and Bessie Cohen (born Bosya Laschiner). Her interest in becoming a photographer began in 1946, when she worked for a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She briefly learned photographic skills in 1948 from Harper's Bazaar art director Alexei Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research in New York. Arnold is best known for her benevolent, intimate images of actress Marilyn Monroe on the set of Monroe's last (1961) film, The Misfits, but she took many photos of Monroe from 1951 onwards. An exhibition of her previously unseen photos of Monroe was displayed at the Halcyon Gallery in London in May 2005. Marilyn trusted Arnold more than any other photographer, a relationship that is well-documented. Due to Arnold's sympathetic approach towards her subjects and protective nature of them afterwards, she was able to capture a closeness that is not easy for most others to capture. Not only did Arnold photograph VIPs such as Queen Elizabeth II, Malcolm X, and Joan Crawford, she traveled extensively around the world, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan. In 1980, she had her first solo exhibition, which featured her photographic work done in China at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. In the same year, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Magazine Photographers. In 1995, she was made a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and elected Master Photographer by New York's International Center of Photography. She also did a series of portraits of American Presidents' wives. Arnold left the United States in the early 1960s with her son, Francis, moving to England, which eventually became her adopted home. In England, while working for the Sunday Times, she began to seriously use colour as a medium for photography. In her adopted homeland, she was later appointed a member of the Advisory Committee of the National Media Museum formerly the Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford in 1997. http://www. artguide. org/artists. php?id=1885527A She currently lives in Britain, in a London nursing home. When asked by Angelica Houston in an interview described in a retrospective book of Arnold's work, Eve Arnold's People (2009), if she was doing photography anymore, Arnold replied: "That's over. I can't hold a camera anymore. " Arnold is currently 97. She did say, however, that she spends most of her time reading such writers as Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann and Tolstoy.
