Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait of Stardom

Our Marilyn Monroe prints are as illustrious as her life. During her lifetime she was the most photographed woman in the world, and still to this day she is the human face of pop art. The mythology that surrounds her has been the basis of countless songs and films. This power is embodied in our portfolio of Marilyn Monroe wall art, which you can find in our collections of art prints and black and white photography.

Her unforgettable facial expressions, her characteristic blond hair and famous mole, and her powerful affect still inspire artists to create pieces that direct all eyes to her. Andy Warhol captured her light and dark sides, her startling luminosity and the morose silhouettes that attended her fame and that pigeonholed her as a screen upon which others project their desires. Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe paintings defined her as an icon for a new age of art, and the Marilyn Monroe screen prints that still circulate today are the very portrait of the dramatis personae at the heart of pop art.

Peperina Magenta's piece integrates black and white prints of Marilyn Monroe with a digital collage method. Anna Halm Schudel, by contrast is gripped by the pop art philosophy of reproducibility: her Monroe portrait is composed of many small individual “portrait-pixels”. Take a step back from Schudel’s print, and observe how dramatically her portrait changes when viewed up close and at a distance.

Sometimes a classic photo print is enough to bring Marilyn Monro’s legendary radiance into the present. Howard Hawks' still of her famous role as Lorelei Lee in the 1953 classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes freezes the viewer right in the action. Henry Hathaway’s black and white photo print depicting another still of Monroe as Rose Looms in the 1953 film Niagara shows us a scene that is less spectacular and cinematically determined, but which makes it clear as day in whom the photo’s center of gravity lies. Classic black and white prints like Hathaway’s present an elegant alternative to the colorful pop-art interpretations of Marilyn Monroe.
