Happy Thursday, <\/strong><\/p>\n Do you remember the first time you learned about American icon Marilyn Monroe? I sure do.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was high school when I came across Andy Warhol\u2019s 1967 portfolio of silkscreen prints of the famous actress on the internet. While I was in awe of the pop art images, I was curious to learn more about Monroe. What followed was a deep dive not only into her glamorous persona, but the hardships she faced as well.<\/p>\n If you are also fascinated by her, you have the chance to explore a collection of photographs taken by Lawrence Schiller before Monroe\u2019s death in 1962 at Fort Works Art\u2019s \u201cCelebrate 100\u201d exhibition.
