Photography on glossy paper // Marilyn crucifix II (1962) by Bert Stern is a provocative inkjet print on glossy paper, featuring an overlay of bold orange paint in the shape of a cross superimposed over a nude image of Marilyn Monroe. Part of the renowned Last Sitting series, this piece adds a layer of abstraction and symbolism to Monroe’s vulnerable pose, with the vibrant orange cross both obscuring and highlighting her form. The stark contrast between the soft grayscale photograph and the intense color of the cross draws attention to themes of identity, objectification, and sacrifice. This composition challenges viewers to confront Monroe's public image and the complexities behind her iconic status.
