There is perhaps no subject more photographed than the human face, revealing a breadth of emotion and mystery. We explore some of the faces that feature in Spectacle, from movie stars and musicians to painters and clowns 💫
Marilyn Monroe stands illuminated in an image by @evearnoldphotographer, made at the press conference for The Prince and the Showgirl in 1956.
In his 1954 capture, @wernerbischofestate depicts Frida Kahlo painting in her home in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
@brucedavidsonphoto brings us a photo of The Supremes recording at the studios of Motown Records in Detroit, Michigan.
