Biography: Bert Stern (1929-2013) is one of the best-known portrait photographers of the 20th century. Over the course of an extremely prolific career, he produced iconic images of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Twiggy, Truman Capote, and Marilyn Monroe. His portraits are simple, clean, and evocative -- there is no room for ambiguity in a Stern portrait. This aesthetic shaped his artistic and commercial work and completely changed the very nature of both the fashion and advertising worlds. No longer were images there to serve as buffers for text -- a Stern image speaks for itself. Born in Brooklyn, Stern taught himself photography at an early age. He dropped out of high school at 16 and took a job in the mailroom of Look magazine, where he met the director Stanley Kubrick, then a staff photographer for Look. During this time Stern learned the ins and outs of commercial photography from Kubrick, before eventually leaving to become the art director of Flair magazine.
