10 Marilyns, 1967

Andy Warhol loved the celebrities–actors/actresses, musicians, world leaders, etc.  And he worshipped Marilyn Monroe and did quite a lot of artwork around her.  Here is the 10 series of Marilyn Monroe done in favorites of Andy Warhol’s colors–the vivid yellows, pinks, greens and turquoises that he loved.  When Marilyn Monroe died, Andy Warhol spent four months doing 20 silkscreen paintings of her centered around a photo of Marilyn done for publicity of the movie “Niagra”.

Four Marilyns, c.1962

More fascination with Marilyn Monroe, by Andy Warhol, the pop art era founder. Andy Warhol loved the celebrity cult following, and used Marilyn and other celebrities to create assembly-line paintings.  Knowing that there was mortality lurking behind the myth of being famous, Andy was fascinated by death.  Here is the Four Marilyns, all the same, yet all different.  Andy loved to create artwork like this–vibrant, colorful, graphic and iconic.

Marilyn Monroe: I Love Your Kiss Forever, c.1964

More iconic images of Marilyn Monroe or her famous parts.  These are Marilyn Monroe lips and teeth, probably taken from the same painting that Andy Warhol did above.  Done in that wonderful graphic way that is truly Andy, bright colors mixed with newspaper-like blacks and whites, all pixelated.  This small gallery of Andy Warhol/Marilyn Monroe postersis truly representative of the colorful pop art era. And makes us appreciate all that definitely is Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe art.
