"Marlene Dietrich" - A Photo Story
Krakow, Museum of the History of Photography, August 30 - September 22, 2002
languages: Polski  / English 
 

"Marlene Dietrich", 1950
Marlene Dietrich Collection, Berlin
This exhibition has both a biographical and a documentary dimension and is the most extensive ever presentation of photos relating to the life and activities of Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992). All of the photos on view are from the abundant collections of the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin.

The photographs depict a variety of moments from the life of an actress who was to a great extent responsible for creating the archetype of a passionate yet withdrawn woman who is driven by her own convictions and exceeds socially accepted norms of behavior. Dietrich's stance in life often gave rise to disapproval and protests, especially in Germany, where she was dubbed a traitor (at the beginning of 1944 Marlene donned a US Army uniform and began entertaining American soldiers) and later reviled as a "singing grandma" when she attempted to rejuvenate her career.

She spent the last days of her life in voluntary solitude in her Paris apartment.
