This work's palette suggests clashing representations of Marilyn Monroe: technicolor filmstrip and black-and-white newsreel footage of the 1940s and ’50s.
Description
The image of Marilyn Monroe in Marilyn x 100, the largest of Andy Warhol's many paintings featuring the celebrity, comes from a publicity still for the 1953 film Niagara. Warhol reproduces this iconic image through silk screening, a commercial printing technique from which the artist's hand is absent, on top of a unique underpainting made by Warhol. As was common throughout Warhol's work, Marilyn x 100 explores the relationship—and suggests overlaps—among mass media, technology, pop culture, and fine art.
