This artwork is the Marilyn Monroe "Written Images" Photomosaic Poster, originally published by Written Images around 2005.
About the Artwork Composition:
The entire portrait is a typographical photomosaic built out of block-arranged biographical descriptions, quotes, and legendary commentary about Marilyn Monroe's life and career.
Textured Effect: Features a stylized, slightly raised or textured overlay on the lettering, giving the surface a distinct tactile feel.
Aesthetics: It features a high-contrast red, white, and black color palette, prominently highlighting her face and signature red lips against a textured background.
Design Style: Word art / typography portrait where the entire image, shading, and features are constructed using micro-text.
​Content: The text is made up of a collection of personal quotes, biographical facts, and notable sayings by and about Marilyn Monroe, her films (such as The Seven Year Itch), and her life.
Dimensions: A large format 26" W x 38.5" H wall art print.
Construction: The mosaic graphic is applied or heat-transferred directly onto a thin, sturdy wood panel rather than framed behind glass. It is designed to be hung flat against the wall using a rear hanging bracket.
Texture: This specific layout often features a textured or laminate protective finish over the wood face to keep the typographic details crisp and prevent fading from UV exposure
