"For Erwitt, Marilyn wasn't posing, she was intelligent, intimate, and direct."

Bologna, November 6 (askanews) – “He was a very, very famous photographer. And here behind me we have Marilyn, who will now be very relevant again because of the centenary dedicated to her. We have a collection of photographs of Marilyn seen as only Erwitt could photograph her, precisely because of the access Marilyn allowed him, so photographs even in intimate situations, including an intelligent Marilyn who isn't dolling up, not posing, but more intimate, more direct.”

This is what curator Biba Giacchetti told us about a section of the exhibition "Elliott Erwitt. The Art of Observing," hosted at the Museo Civico Archeologico in Bologna and produced by Civita Mostre e Musei.
