Marilyn Monroe Pop Art
Still after almost half a century from her death, Marilyn is still an embodiment of Stardom.
It is probably because she gave to the camera more than any other person ever did. Well maybe Marilyn said about herself: “I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.” A fear of rejection made her a mirror, reflecting human desires.
This way she became a paradox, a living contradiction, ordinary and glamorous, natural and artificial, beautiful and grotesque, sexually provocative and shy, insecure and confident, victimised and dangerous, naïve and shameful, fragile and everlasting.
