DAYTON, OHIO.- The Dayton Art Institute presents an exhibition and one-woman play on the life of Marilyn Monroe, on view through June 24. Marilyn Monroe: Life as a Legend uses a wide range of artists and media to explore the public and private life of one of the world’s most recognizable icons. Through the art of Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Peter Blake, Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and others, this exhibition of nearly 250 photographs, prints, paintings, videos, and sculpture captures Marilyn’s rise to stardom. Nearly 80 artists depict the late movie star in styles ranging from fashion photography to Pop Art.
“To this day, the public continues to have a fascination with Marilyn Monroe,” said J. Bradford Tillson, interim director of The Dayton Art Institute. “This exhibition uses the art of photography, painting and sculpture to celebrate her legendary life. The diversity of the artists represented allows the visitor to relive all aspects of Marilyn’s life, from the young ingenue to one of the most popular film stars of the 1950s.” Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=20084
