Marilyn Monroe




Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was an American actress who was seen by many as the ultimate sex goddess of Hollywood. Artists such as Peter Blake and Andy Warhol used stars such as Marilyn to give pop a rich iconography. In a way pop stars, pin ups and stars of rock 'n' roll became obsessive expressions of mass culture.

Milk 2010



As in the 1950s when Pop Art embraced consumer culture, everyday branded objects became art that everyone could buy. Objects such as the Coca-Cola bottle were cheap enough for everyone to buy resulting in commercial mass production of the product. This can also be seen in Andy Warhols' 'Campbell's Soup Cans' each one of which was available to the consumer. In some ways this is very similar with items such as milk because it is a mass produced product and can be bought by any-one rich or poor.
