Revolutionizing Fashion: The Trailblazing Female Photographer
A new exhibition at the Newlands House Gallery in Petworth, UK, showcases the groundbreaking work of Eve Arnold, the first female photographer to join Magnum in 1951. The exhibition highlights Arnold's perspective and features her most celebrated images, including Marilyn Monroe on the set of "The Misfits" and Malcolm X speaking in Washington. Arnold's non-judgmental and empathetic approach, as well as her ability to overcome taboos and gain access, are evident in her extensive body of work. The exhibition also explores her lesser-known works, such as her documentation of Black fashion shows in Harlem and a lesbian wedding celebration. Arnold's curiosity and compassion shine through in her photography, making it relatable and timeless.
