Description:
Marilyn Monroe's face is presented as an impenetrable mask in bright luminous colours. Published in a series of ten different colour combinations, using the impersonal screenprinting process, this multi-coloured surface portrays her image in a startlingly lurid manner. Monroe is probably Warhol's most famous subject. He used a publicity still as the basis for this series, presenting us with a frozen, pre-packaged image of Hollywood's greatest personae. The portrayal of Monroe as a product of mass culture, manufactured for the public as a consumer item, presents this work as pivital in the American Pop-Art Movement. Warhol, a printer, graphic artist and filmmaker, was a cult figure during the 1960s. He remained, however, an intensely private man, saying: "If you want to know everything about me, just look at the surface of my paintings, it's all there, there's nothing more."

You are viewing a giclee print. Each piece was created by a special process called "Giclee". Giclee is a computer generated print that is produced by the spraying of an image on to fine art paper. The inks used are specially formulated so that the fine print heads can spurt jets of ink in minute droplets. When prints are produced on fine art quality paper, the print should posses archival standards of permanence comparable or better than other collectible work.
