Product Description

A privileged witness to the glamorous spirit of the 1950s and 60s, Milton H. Greene photographed the greatest artists, actors, and personalities of the twentieth century. Renowned for his fashion photographs, Greene perfectly captured the fantasy, elegance, and beauty of his models, for which he secured assignments from major national publications and prestigious advertising clients. But That’s Another Story: A Photographic Retrospective of Milton H. Greene reproduces, in their original clarity and integrity, pictures that have been largely unavailable since Greene’s death in 1985. Organized thematically, it features both the widely published fashion and celebrity series (including the campaign Greene shot for American Airlines in the 1950s) and some intimate backstage candids. A whole chapter is dedicated to photos of Marilyn Monroe, where some of her most iconic portraits mix with private moments from her life. Ultimately, Greene’s photography invites us back to an era when film and fashion, art and style were at their highest.

Review
"Every photographs conjures an era when men wore fedoras and women dressed up in long evening gloves, fur boas, ostrich fans, fishnet veils, and preposterous hats that put Carrie Bradshaw to shame." --Vanity Fair

Review
"Since his death in 1985, most of Greene's work has been out of print. That's been rectified with the publication of But That's Another Story, an oversize retrospective of the lensman's portraiture and fashion photography, including iconic images of JFK, Gregory Peck, Sophia Loren, and just about every other star of the era."

Review
"Color photography's boy wonder,' Greene captured the flushed eros and shiny vibrancy of the chic set in the 50s and 60s."
