Original artwork description
Milton Greene's Marilyn: A Painterly Echo
This evocative sketch-portrait reimagines one of the most iconic photographs of Marilyn Monroe, taken by the legendary Milton Greene in 1956. Capturing her in rustic attire, away from the Hollywood glamour, the piece reveals a different, more intimate side of the star.
Executed with a masterful blend of oil pastel and oil paint on special smooth paper, the technique achieves a remarkable, lifelike quality reminiscent of a vintage photograph. The colors and texture work in harmony to convey the very mood and atmosphere of the original session—a moment of quiet authenticity, forever preserved not by a camera, but by the artist's hand. This is a dialogue between photography and painting, a tribute to both a photographer's and an actor's artistry.
Technique: Original mixed media (oil pastel and oil) on heavy, smooth paper.
Size: 48 x 36 cm (approx. 19 x 14 inches).
Paper: High-quality, acid-free paper, specially prepared for mixed media.
Details: The work is signed and will be carefully packaged with tracking. A unique interpretation of a famous photographic masterpiece.
