The Look Book
- Milton Greene’s Flawless Eye
- During the 50s and 60s, Milton H. Greene snapped everybody who was anybody, from Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Marlene Dietrich to Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, and Paul Newman. As Richard Avedon, no slouch himself, gushed, “Milton Greene was the best photographer of women I ever knew.” (Check out the heat he gets from Catherine Deneuve below, or Marilyn Monroe’s sunshine-y playfulness.) With the publication this month of Powerhouse Books’ But That’s Another Story, a collection of his life’s work culled by his widow, Amy, and son Joshua, Greene’s images are iconic all over again.
