Marilyn Diptych.
Andy Warhol, 205.44 cm x 289.56 cm. Acrylic on canvas 1962.
This work show uses repetition very boldly and also each repeated work shows slight variation, as the have been painted by hand and not printed which is different than warhols other works but the style is still distinctively warhol. Warhol has explored repetition in this work by recreating the same image 50 times in colour on one half of the diptych, and in black and white on the other half. By repeating this same image the eye is drawn to the slight differences although they are also slight, this gives is a hand made effect.
