\"Elizabeth<\/a>Elizabeth Taylor<\/strong>,who died Wednesday in L.A<\/a>., was one of the most photographed woman of her generation and became a Hollywood icon in an era when stars were idolized by photographers (instead of chased). The classic lighting and poses are worth a look, no matter if you are a Liz fan or not. Here is a selection of images of Taylor. The ones from the early years are my favorites.<\/p>\n

* Magnum Photos<\/strong> has a wonderful slideshow<\/a> of classic Taylor images, including several by Philppe Halsman (left, for Life Magazine) and Burt Glinn.<\/p>\n

* The New York Times<\/strong>, in addition to its lengthy obituary, also has a slideshow <\/a>that contains still from Taylor’s movies. They’re worth a look for the lighting alone.<\/p>\n

* In case you didn’t make it to any of Taylor’s weddings, Life Magazine <\/strong>has pulled together an album <\/a>of them all.<\/p>\n

* Life, again displaying the power of a deep archive<\/strong>, is touting this collection<\/a> of “unpublished pics.” Click in a few to see Taylor, in full louche, with Montgomery Clift.<\/p>\n

* Want to own your own <\/strong>Elizabeth Taylor photo? Click here to see <\/a>the many for sale on eBay — $3.99 will get you an 8 x 10.<\/p>\n

* For a moving<\/strong> (literally) tribute to Taylor by\u00a0 N.Y. Times critic A.O. Scott, watch this Times video<\/a> on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
