Marilyn Monroe- photographed by Richard Avedon: Unlike the last photo this photograph strikes me becuase of the lack of eye contact. Where is that that sexy look she always gives the camera? It looks as though something else is weighing heavy on her conscience. Or a wave of sadness just washed over her as Avedon hit the shutter. Regardless- it is something. We can debate or guess what is going through her head and causing her expression but the fact remains that it is not something tangeable or proovable. Which only leaves one answer- this is a photograph of Monroe's spirit.
