JOHN FLOREA'S(1916-2000) "MARILYN MONROE READING WHITMAN'S LEAVES OF GRASS"(1952)

A photographic painting of what her life
should have been, just Whitman and art
instead of Kennedy and the fatal limelights.

If you look at the photograph by Ben Ross
of Marilyn reading husband Arthur Miller's
An Enemy of the Peoplenow that's a sexy
photo. You can show it to everyone who
claims love of literature and attractiveness,
sex appeal don't mix, or that people
can't be sexy while fully clothed.

But nothing sexy here, just a person
captured as close to her true herself
as publicity allowed.
