Description
-
This print is part of the many prints Warhol produced of Monroe, following her death. The prints, like the one here, show Marilyn Monroe’s face rendered in unnatural shades. Compared to the other one her face is blue, with pink eyelids, and bright red lips. Warhol varies the colors from natural flesh tones, underlining how screen printing allowed him to use the image as blank canvas for him to customize. As well the choice to represent her in unnatural colors provided her with a legacy that did not revolve solely around her looks and beauty. As well, by not forcing himself to stick to natural colors, it allowed him endless combinations of prints that he could produce of her.
