When I think of Marilyn Monroe the first thing that comes to my mind is neither
her great career, her death nor her status as a sex symbol.
What pops up in my head is the huge amount of artworks she inspired.
Over all these years Marilyn Monroe became something I would call an artistic phenomenon.
We could fill tons of books with drawings, paintings etc. of her.
I wanted to know what's so special about this person that there are so many people using her face for their art.
So I drew pictures of her myself and I think I got the answer.
1. Her face is really easy to draw since it's unbelievably even
2. Her face became more of an abstract symbol for womanhood than a portrayal of a real person

3. Artists like to use symbols
