Marilyn at the drive-in, 1952

Philippe Halsmann was born in what is now Riga, Latvia in 1906. Halsman once said "I considered the human face the most interesting subject to photograph, I hoped I could explore it the way my favourite writers, Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, had explored human nature, with psychological depth and honesty".
