    Meaning & History

     

    “The more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel."

    A portfolio that is recognised as an early example of Warhol’s unique style is the Marilyn Monroe portfolio. This series consists of some of the first prints that Warhol’s printing business, Factory Additions, released. Warhol founded the company to create his renowned high-volume print sets. The artwork also prominently displays the vivid energy and explosive colours that came to define Warhol’s style. The striking contrast created by the neon yellows, vivid blues and intense reds helped to establish the Pop Art movement and solidify the still instantly recognisable Pop aesthetic. Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe portfolio is a definitive series in every aspect. Some of the most thought-provoking concepts in Warhol’s artistic ethos are reflected in the portrayal of Monroe as a symbol of the cult of celebrity. Warhol mass-produced the series at the Factory, and its repetitious character points to the commoditization of Monroe’s notorious personality. He publishes Monroe the same we he does as his Campbell’s soup – as an object of commodification.

    The portfolio establishes Pop Art’s gold standard when it comes to aesthetics. The lasting popularity and cultural significance of the portraits are a reflection of Warhol’s essential goals of making us question our knowledge of what constitutes as art.
