This exhibition presents an unusual portrait of Marylin Monroe, for a journey that takes the visitor through more than 220 photographs, accompanied by rare, previously unpublished anecdotes. A tribute that goes from childhood to her tragic death, which shows that Marylin was not only the biggest star in Hollywood, but a young woman passionate about the arts and artists…
Tragically passed away at the age of 36, Marilyn Monroe remains the mystery of America. By his origins, his encounters, his cinematographic career, his entourage, his relations with Hollywood, the White House, organized crime, the multiple facets of his personality, his enemies, his friends…
Like a moment in American History
The sex symbol of the United States marries Joe Di Maggio the best baseball player, Arthur Miller one of the best writers of the century and rumors circulate of an alleged relationship with the youngest president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. On May 19, 1962, in a dress so fitted that she seemed almost naked on stage (exhibited at the Espaces Bazacle), she whispered to him a Happy birthday unforgettable Madison Square Garden.
Where is the truth ? Marilyn Monroe confided to her close friends: “There are always two sides to a story.” The exhibition leads the public to a unique icon, delivered to the light. The answer to one of America’s biggest secrets? We also discover a reconstruction of his room and various iconic objects…
From Norma Jeane to Marylin, a family album
To complete the visit you can, on site, obtain the album signed David Lawrence which presents readers with the main characters in Norma Jeane’s journey and that of Marilyn Monroe, her curiosity, her fondness for Anglo-Saxon and French literature, his passion for the most diverse painters such as Vincent Van Gogh, for Auguste Rodin, poets such as Walt Whitman. His friendships with Norman Rosten, Karen Blixen and the insolent Truman Capote. Joe Di Maggio and the hope of true love: Arthur Miller.
“The emotion is dense, palpable. By moving forward, step by step, we move away from lies and clichés to get closer to the truth. If the title evokes the impenetrable, there is indeed a secret to be clarified before leaving this luxurious album. Not the mystery of his disappearance, but the essence of his being.”
Pour David Lawrence, “losing Marilyn Monroe is losing an ally of words. Official support for those left behind in American society. Listening to those, exiled for their various commitments, in an America fiercely opposed to communism and all its forms. Losing Marilyn Monroe means losing the official support of this African-American community, whose basic rights are despised. Marilyn loved the other. Without naivety…”
