==False color in the arts== {{Expand section|date=August 2012}} {{multiple image | align = center <!-- Header --> | header = <!-- Image 1 --> | width1 = 300 | image1 = | caption1 = An image created in the style of [[Andy Warhol]]. }} While artistic rendition lends to subjective expression of color, [[Andy Warhol]] (1928β1987) has become a culturally significant figure of the [[modern art]] movement by creating false-color paintings with [[screen printing]] techniques. Some of Warhol's most recognizable prints include a replication of [[Marilyn Monroe]], her image based on a [[film frame]] from the movie ''[[Niagara (1953 film)|Niagara]]''. The subject was a [[sex symbol]] and [[film noir]] starlet whose death in 1962 influenced the artist. A series of prints were made with endearment but expose her persona as an illusion through his [[assembly line]] style of art production which are non-erotic and slightly grotesque.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Wood|first1=Paul|title=Varieties of Modernism|date=2004|publisher=Yale University Press|location=London, United Kingdom|isbn=978-0-300-10296-3|pages=339β341, 354|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2zOlJOo5ApgC&pg=PP1}}</ref> Using various ink color palettes, Warhol immersed himself in a process of repetition that serves to compare personas and everyday objects to the qualities of [[mass production]] and [[consumerism]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Gold Marilyn Monroe|url=http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/andy-warhol-gold-marilyn-monroe-1962|website=Museum of Modern Art|access-date=9 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140613162257/http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/andy-warhol-gold-marilyn-monroe-1962 |archive-date= Jun 13, 2014 }}</ref> The colors of ink were selected through experimentation of [[aesthetics]] and do not correlate to false-color rendering of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]] employed in [[remote sensing]] image processing. For years the artist continued [[screen printing]] false-color images of Marilyn Monroe, perhaps his most referenced work being ''[[Turquoise Marilyn]]''<ref>{{cite book|last1=Fallon|first1=Michael|title=How to Analyze the Works of Andy Warhol|date=2011|publisher=ABDO Publishing Company|location=North Mankato, Minnesota, United States of America|isbn=978-1-61613-534-8|pages=[https://archive.org/details/howtoanalyzework0000fall/page/44 44]β46|url=https://archive.org/details/howtoanalyzework0000fall|url-access=registration}}</ref> which was bought in May 2007 by a private collector for 80 million US dollars.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Vogel|first1=Carol|title=Inside Art|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DEEDB1630F936A15756C0A9619C8B63|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=9 June 2014|date=2007-05-25}}</ref>
