ONLINE: Andy Warhol: Silver Screen (prints)
Warhol's source material for Marilyn Monroe is a publicity still from her 1953 film, Niagara. At the time of the screenprint's creation, Marilyn Monroe had been dead for five years: yet her image was still omnipresent, both in the media and in the American psyche.

From this point onwards, the pop artist's foremost reputation as a portrait artist was without doubt: according to Arthur C Danto, Warhol:"Did more than any other artist to revitalise the practice".
