Art of Marilyn Monroe

Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe

Andy Warhol, who from early childhood was fascinated with celebrities and stardom, became the inspiration for a significant portion of his work.  His famous silkscreen's of Marilyn Monroe helped to solidify the legendary status of them both.  Like many, Andy Warhol was drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but he felt that he uniquely understood her in a way that other's couldn't.

Other Artist's with interpretations of Marilyn

	Artist L. Ritter has a series of embellished paintings of Marilyn Monroe and others.  These black and white paintings all have one exception.  The color red used on her lips.  A well done work and wonderful contrast.
	Artist Richard Hall does this piece on Marilyn.  Richard's work doesn't quite fit into a single category.  His style and subject matter vary greatly and he experiments with photography as well.  We think this piece of Marilyn however is wonderful.
	Artist Santiago Poveda does this unique piece on Marilyn called Dibujo Marilyn.  Much of Poveda's work is "retro", even bordering on cartoon.  He has many vintage pieces, focuses on the colors black and red.
	Artist Vladimir Gorsky is famous for his wildly colorful retro interpretations of celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elvis, Ray Charles, and Frank Sinatra.
