{"product_id":"andre-de-dienes","title":"André de Dienes","description":"One day in 1945, fashion photographer \u003cb\u003eAndré de Dienes \u003c\/b\u003emet an aspiring model named \u003cb\u003eNorma Jeane Dougherty\u003c\/b\u003e.  It was a momentous moment, both for his personal life and his  photographic portfolio. Over the next few years, he would be briefly  engaged to Norma Jeane, take a number of adventurous road trips with  her, and build up a stunning series of portraits which would help launch  her modeling, and later movie, career.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of de Dienes's \u003cb\u003ephotographs and private memoirs \u003c\/b\u003eoffers  an intimate picture of Norma Jeane the woman, before she was Marilyn  the icon. From their trip to see Norma Jeane's mother in a mental  hospital to Marilyn's visit a few days before her death, de Dienes's  emotion-laden archive, often annotated with handwritten notes, offers a  deeply personal account of Monroe's transformation from a sensitive,  ambitious girl into a deeply troubled global star.","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50872176279588,"sku":"9783754407097","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783754407097.jpg?v=1781046320","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/andre-de-dienes","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
