Very sad to hear of the death of Eve Arnold, although peacefully in your sleep at 99 after a fascinating and eventful life is a pretty good way to go, I reckon. I've loved Arnold's work ever since a retrospective I saw at the Barbican a good few years ago, the catalogue from which is still a book I curl up with from time to time. Arnold more than held her own in the male-dominated world of Magnum. Her photographs have a warmth and intimacy that came from her ability to get close to her subject (often spending months or years building up relationships) and her personal style. She is famous for her photographs of Marilyn Monroe, including this one below of her reading Ulysses that I'm including just so I can make the link to books somehow. Rest in peace Eve.
