Keep It Box Note Cards - Andy Warhol Marilyn

Wrote Andy Warhol: "In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple--quick and chancy. I was thrilled with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face." The five cards each of four iconic Marilyn Monroe images are based on a publicity still from the movie Niagara that Warhol used to create the silkscreens.
