9 Defining Portraits of Marilyn Monroe

Artsy Editorial highlights nine defining portraits of Marilyn Monroe, coinciding with the centennial of her birth. The article notes that while Monroe was a master of self-image in photography, fine artists were drawn to her during her lifetime, but her early death cemented her as a cultural icon. These portraits are currently on display at London's National Portrait Gallery in the exhibition "Marilyn: A Portrait," running through September 6th.
