Andy Warhols Marilyn Diptych: Great Art Explained

I started Great Art Explained during lockdown. My aim is to make videos which focus on one great artwork. I want to present art in a jargon free, entertaining, clear and concise way with no gimmicks.

Each video takes me about three weeks to a month, so I download at least once a month: Andy Warhol made Marilyn Diptych in 1962, right after Marilyn Monroes death. By the 1960s Marilyns film career as a sex symbol was all but over. Warhol would effectively immortalize Marilyn as the sex symbol of the 20th century. The seductive blonde Marilyn with the heavylidded eyes and parted lips is frozen in time. She is transformed into the personification of the allure and glamour of Hollywood s Golden Age.
