Question

What format did Warhol borrow to create the above images of Marilyn Monroe?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. diptych format from the icons of Christianity such as those found in the Byzantine church.

Explanation:

The name of this collection of images is in fact Marilyn Diptych, so you can be certain that B is the correct answer here. The Greek word diptych refers to something consisting of two parts, and was often used in Christian art and churches to refer to a painting in two parts that can close like a book.

Warhol was inspired by this type of art to create Marylin Diptych, which can now be found in the Tate Gallery in the UK.
