About the Item

''Marilyn Monroe'' is a unique brushed aluminum artwork by Nirit Aharoni depicting Marylin Monroe, an American actress, model, and singer. Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's changing attitudes towards sexuality. Aharoni is a video artist, painter, and photographer whose works have been displayed in many exhibitions over the years. Her preoccupation with women and femininity began with her documentary film "Strung Out" which won the directing prize at the International Film Festival in Jerusalem for 2015. The film also won an outstanding prize at a women's festival in Paris and is expected to participate in other festivals around the world. The artist's photographic work is defined as dark, reflecting the balance of power between weakness and power, and provoking a discussion of the place and identity of women in contemporary society and culture, the yearning for belonging and self-determination.
