Life Magazine, Marilyn Monroe

life remembers marilyn

Life was one of the most popular American magazines of the 20th century, with a strong emphasis on photojournalism. It lives on today as an online photo archive, and occasionally publishes special editions in honour of iconic Americans.

Cornell Capa, Marilyn Monroe, Photojournalism, The Misfits

Cornell Capa has died in New York, aged 90. The brother of war photographer Robert Capa, he was a distinguished artist in his own right.

As part of the Magnum group, Capa covered a diverse range of subjects, from the Kennedy presidency to the hidden lives of disabled children. You can view his work here
