Recently I was at a friend's home in the Twin Palm Estates area of Palm Springs for cocktails. They have a marvelous collection of art, including over sized black and white photography of Hollywood legends such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. These were the inspiration for this week's edition of the Sunday Art Review: Two Legends. Monroe would frequently escape to Palm Springs to enjoy the arid heat and natural hot springs of our desert. Elizabeth Taylor was known for hosting fabulous parties for her Hollywood friends here in the desert, and viewed Palm Springs as a relaxing respite from the chaos and frenzy of Los Angeles. I couldn't resist stopping for a photo in front of this fantastic photography. Both of these photos commanded attention and had a true presence in the room.

Two Legends: Marlyn Monroe & Elizabeth Taylor
The following are not from my friend's home, but I thought it would be fun to round out today's Sunday Art Review with some less common, vintage images of Marilyn & Elizabeth:
Thanks for stopping by the Sunday Art Review, I appreciate your time.
