Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

Quote of the Day #005



"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anyone or anything."


Marilyn Monroe

What Marilyn says in this terrific quote is the, in my opinion, the central truth of fame. Thet, if o are famous, you belong to the public! You no longer are your own property: you are public property. This is the price of fame you have to pay if you want to be famous!
