Diptych Marilyn

 I have chosen Diptych Marilyn, is an acrylic screen print on canvas by the American artist Andy Warhol produced in 1962 and is exhibited at the Tate Modern an art gallery in London. This screen print contains 50 images of American actress and model Marilyn Monroe , all based on the same publicity photograph for the film Niagara (1953). It is enrolled in the movement of the Pop art. The 25 representations on the left of the diptych are very colorful, it represents her life while the 25 representations on the right are black and white, it represents the end of her life, her death. Andy Warhol decided to paint the Marilyn Diptych a few weeks after Monroe's death. He found in her a fusion of two constant themes: death and the cult of celebrity. By copying the same image several times, he evokes his presence in the media.
