Why is Marilyn Monroe Wall Art so Popular?
A star of the stage and screen, Marilyn Monroe is one of the world’s most famous cultural icons. During her life, Marilyn was the artistic muse for photographers, painters and songwriters; even after her death in 1962, she continued to be a source of inspiration for creatives. Her mass appeal and distinctive image have not gone out of style, and her image remains focus of contemporary art.
The appeal of Marilyn Monroe wall art is layered. She represents the sexual revolution of the 60’s, with many believing her fame and ‘blonde bombshell’ character developed as a result of rising power among women. Her striking appearance and distinctive platinum blonde hair and red lip also hold deep visual appeal; the ultimate sex symbol. But beyond this, there has also been a deeper exploration of the darker side of Marilyn’s life – her unstable childhood, personal issues and death has become a subject of wide debate, in turn inspiring an alternative series of creative works which look beyond the beauty and consider Marilyn’s position as a victim and feminist martyr.
Most Marilyn Monroe wall art focus on the highs of Marilyn’s life and her enchanting presence, but every piece is certain to be a thought-provoking comment on womanhood and pop culture.

What Image Does Marilyn Monroe Represent?
One of the many reasons Marilyn Monroe wall art continues to capture the hearts of collectors and art enthusiasts is the complex dichotomy she represents. She is a symbol of strength, but also vulnerability. She represents the height of fame, and the great price that can come with it. Marilyn was in some ways a living doll, her signature looks and iconic outfits themselves acting as works of art. She was also real, human and flawed. The magical and, at times, conflicting qualities Marilyn represents have mystified and inspired artists for decades and there is no doubt they will continue to do so for decades to come.
