The artwork titled “Three Marilyns” was created in 1962 by the artist Andy Warhol in the United States. It is executed using silkscreen and ink, and belongs to the Pop Art movement. The genre of the artwork is portraiture.
The artwork features three identical portraits of a woman, celebrated for their vibrant pop art aesthetics. Each portrayal utilizes bold, contrasting colors that highlight the striking features of the subject. The faces are repeated in succession against a vivid blue background, incorporating the characteristic elements of Warhol’s silkscreen technique: vivid hues, intentional imperfections, and a focus on popular culture icons. The prominent use of yellow, pink, and turquoise further underscores the graphic, modern appeal synonymous with the Pop Art movement, capturing both the allure and the commodification of celebrity culture.
