Andre de Dienes (1913-1985) was a Hungarian-Romanian photographer, noted for his work with Marilyn Monroe and his nude photography. 1938 would be the year in which de Dienes received a big break, in the form of Arnold Gingrich, editor of Esquire magazine offering him work with the magazine out in New York, and also financially helped with the cost of the trip.
