Marilyn Monroe Abstract Collage and Painting, circa 1966

About the Item

From the mid-1960s comes this fabulous large collage and painting titled Norma Jean of an early Marilyn Monroe. It's a mixed media collage of paper with acrylic paint that was laid down to canvas by a NY artist. The image of Marilyn is paper where bold abstract strokes of paint splash over her. A great juxtaposition of technique and design. Signed with an exhibition label, Leo Cormiol and dated 1966. Unique vintage art of Marilyn from her last decade. Found in a contemporary black wood frame. Colors may vary slightly. Note this was an early process to the very collectible collages of pop art today. Professionally framed in a contemporary black frame.

  • Bertrand Dorny Abstract Modern Painting Circa 1963
    By Bertrand Dorny
    Located in New York, NY
    Stunning and masterfully created abstract oil painting by French artist Bertrand Dorny (1931-2015) circa 1963. He lives in the rich world of color and shapes that are constantly moving. Dorny’s colors are occasionally in subtle dialogue with nature and are one of several devices that make his visual language accessible to us. He worked at the ‘Ateliers’ of André Lhote and Johnny Friedlaender. He built his work by deriving accepted techniques such as engraving, collage or folding paper to achieve a personal style in addition to his early paintings. He also taught at the Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The themes of the walk, the progressing path, the network of forms in space are at the center of his work. There are many lithographs of his work but rare to find such a pristine oil painting. He's definitely a 20th century artist whose work is under the radar. Provenance: Estate of Roger Prigent - Malmaison. Colors may vary due to room lighting. It is found in an original period aluminum frame.
