• Inverted Imagery: Instead of printing a dark image onto a light background, Warhol flipped the photographic negative so light and dark values reversed.
• Haunting Aesthetic: The inversion renders Marilyn Monroe's face in stark, ghostly tones—turning a vibrant pop-art symbol into a darker meditation on fame, mortality, and identity.
• Source Material: Like his original 1960s works, he used a publicity photograph from her 1953 film Niagara.
