Andre de Dienes

PAI is pleased to present the remarkable photo-career of Andre de Dienes -- from Paris to New York, Muscle Beach to Mississippi, Norma Jean to Marilyn Monroe.

A true giant of 20th century photography, Andre de Dienes was gifted with an unusually broad talent. He landed high-end fashion and magazine work, shooting for the biggest publishers world-wide. In between high profile assignments, Andre would take-off on personal journeys throughout the US to capture photo essays of extraordinary power. His much published nude form photographs are still striking in their modern composition and attention to line and space. The vision of a true artist is offered here. Enjoy.
