“Everything in the photograph converged on a girl in a ‘new look’ coat who stared out slightly to right of camera. A very wide-angle lens must have been used because the perspective seemed distorted; but the disquiet of the scene was due to two other factors. It was a film set, not a real room, so wall surfaces were not explicitly conjoined; and the lighting came from several different sources”.Cite: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/hamilton-interior-ii-t00912

In August of 1962, Marilyn Monroe committed a suicide and Warhol used this for his screen printing. The photo was taken by Gene Korman in 1953. He took the image into his paintings, so that way you get the picture, but a little bit different each time because of the colors.Cite: http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/marilyns.html
“The idea for a group of works based on Leonardo’s Renaissance masterpiece was proposed to Warhol in 1984 by Milan-based gallerist Alexander Iolas. Warhol leapt at the idea of putting his own stamp on one of the best-known images in the world, and produced an exhaustive series of variations — some freehand, some showing outlines, some, as in this example, using a photostat of the oil painting as the source image for a silkscreen”.
