Biography/History
Marilyn Sanders, a Los Angeles based photographer, developed her interest in the visual arts out of her training as an actress
and a producer on documentary films. She is best known for her portraits of writers and artists. At the beginning of her career
as a photographer, she supported her family with assignments from corporate clients. She then began to document the ways in
which men's and women's roles had been affected by the women's movement, for example, in her WO-MEN WORKING and FATHERS series.
Scope and Content
Included in the collection are 88 photographs of such luminaries in the contemporary cultural landscape as Wallace Stegner,
Czeslaw Milosz, Don Bacardy, Robert Graham, Bella Lewitzky, and Isamu Noguchi, as well as those of UCLA dignitaries and leaders
in the book selling and publishing professions. The collection includes photographs from her 1977-1981 studies of women laboring
in non-traditional jobs, as welders, mechanics and utility workers (WO-MEN WORKING), and of men acting as fully involved parents
in raising their children (FATHERS). Other photographs in the collection are of sculptures in the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture
Garden at UCLA, and of Los Angeles area scenes, including her Palisades Park Series. Most photos are black and white, although
there are also examples of her Ektachrome color photos.
