Marilyn Diptych
Warhol's silkscreen diptych repeats Marilyn Monroe's face in vibrant color and fading black. The work explores celebrity, death, repetition, and image saturation. The fading panels suggest mortality and media's consuming nature. Warhol examines the gap between public image and private person. The work demonstrates how mechanical reproduction transforms human into commodity.
