FAME shows the very iconic sex symbol Marilyn Monroe gracefully taking center stage. A comic like film reel rests behind her showing the trials and tribulations of her very public relationships and affairs. Happiness, love, sadness, grace, all emotions definitive here. “Sex” how ever is the most overpowering image ethos she conveyed, and this is displayed by Mickey Mouse having "fun" with Pikachu. FAME is a painting about Marilyn's life and the ups and down of living in the spotlight.
