Now why is this my favorite painting of Audrey L. Flack? In the first place, there are a couple of images of death: the hourglass, the timetable, and the clock all allude to the progression of time. Marilyn Monroe was a sex image; however Flack incorporates lipstick, a minimized, fragrance, and gems all to demonstrate that magnificence is short lived. Marilyn is a discourse on a standout amongst the most understood symbols of excellence Marilyn Monroe. Despite the fact that many thought she had it all, she passed on at an exceptionally youthful age from a plausible suicide. Audrey's piece proposes that magnificence is unquestionably brief and doesn't generally prompt to joy.
