Marilyn Monroe X

about Marilyn Monroe X

Marilyn Monroe is a frequently-visited subject by pop artists.

Even in the contemporary art era, she remains a symbol of Hollywood, of opulent glamour, and the churning brutality of the overly-consumptive machine that is the American populace. In this painting, Belarusian artist Iryna Kastsova has depicted Marilyn in striking neon tones, not unlike the shades often used by Modern Pop and Psychedelic artist Peter Max in the 1960s. This piece was painted in acrylic, using a pallet knife rather than a brush and is signed on the side by the artist.
