Marilyn Monroe "Self-Torment", near Mailbu, CA, 1946

The Mood Series:
"One day when we were relaxing on the beach between photo sessions, I decided to capture some new expressions I had glimpsed on Marilyn's face. Getting her in close-up, I asked her to react instinctively, without giving herself time to think, to the words happiness, surprise, reflection, doubt, peace of mind, sadness, self-torment...and death."
-- Andre de Dienes quoted from Marilyn Mon Amour (St. Martin's Press, 1985)
