Marilyn Monroe (Lime Green) - Screenprint on Canvas 40" x 40"

Marilyn Monroe (Lime Green) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that renders the screen icon in a charged field of artificial green. This isn’t the green of nature or calm—it’s hyperreal, almost digital, pulsing with an energy that feels both acidic and alluring. Against this unnerving backdrop, Monroe’s familiar features hold steady, but the color shifts the emotional register of the image. What might once have been glamorous now feels cool, detached, and eerily contemporary.

As with all works in the WarHo™ collection, this piece is screenprinted by hand from original screens created using the Gene Korman publicity photograph. The halftone pattern remains, anchoring the work in the mechanical language of Pop, but the color choice propels it into a more ambiguous emotional space. Green has long carried contradictory meanings—envy, sickness, currency, renewal—and in his choice of lime green, WarHo™ seems to lean into its synthetic quality. The result is a portrait that feels like it’s glowing from within, or perhaps from a screen. 

Marilyn Monroe (Lime Green) resists easy interpretation. It doesn’t celebrate or mourn—it hums. WarHo™ uses color here not as accent but as filter, a strange and luminous veil that reframes Monroe not as myth or memory, but as signal. It’s a portrait that asks what happens when a face becomes data—endlessly repeated, color-corrected, and always just out of reach.
