Gentlemen prefer Blondes: Marilyn Monroe photo exhibition, The Little Black Gallery, London

Gentlemen prefer Blondes displays rare yet iconic images of Marilyn Monroe by photographers Milton H Greene and Douglas Kirkland at The Little Black Gallery, South Kensington. Having reached fame through her movies, Monroe has not only become the erotic image of her era, but exerts lasting influence on subsequent generations. Her playful and natural eroticism is captured in stunning photographs that carry an everlasting expressiveness. Both Greene and Kirkland's photographs establish Monroe's fame in creating and contributing to Monroe's iconography and self representation as sex symbol. The small exhibition offers an excellent array of images that draw on and cement Monroe's stardom. Ranging from a beach shot over the well-known photographs in a tutu to Kirkland's Evening with Marilyn, each photograph oozes eroticism. With the exhibition still on until 27 February, there is still chance to catch the star close up.
