Marlene Dietrich
Acrylic paint and clear varnish
11” x 14”
I created this piece to bring attention to women in history that have fought for equality. Marlene Dietrich wore mens tux often because women’s tux or suits were not made yet. With this outfit she always wore a top hat, which I included. I think the top hat was a power move so it was big for me to include that. I also separated the painting into three main pieces because she had three main parts of her life. These parts include: growing up in Germany, living in hollywood and being in the spotlight, and the last few years of her life she spent in solitude in Paris, France. I created the grey border to make the illusion of a movie screen because she starred in many movies.
