Celebrated Magnum photographer who documented ‚the poor, the old and the underdog‘, as well as the stars
«The longevity of Eve Arnold’s career as a photographer matched the heterogeneity of her work. Despite the success of her portraits of the rich and famous, Arnold, who has died aged 99, was equally well known for photographing ‚the poor, the old and the underdog‘. She said: ‚It’s the hardest thing in the world to take the mundane and try to show how special it is.'»

(In 1987, American photojournalist Eve Arnold was interviewed about the photos she made of actress Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn trusted Arnold more than any other photographer, which resulted in many beautiful and intimate portraits, made between 1951 and 1962.)
