In the 1950’s, Pop Art played with the idea of integrating mass production and fine art. One of the foremost artists of this movement, Andy Warhol, did this by screen-printing repeated images of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe. Bright primary colors were used in reference to popular media like TV, comic books, and magazines. In this way, the epic became everyday and the mass-produced as important as the unique. The gulf between ``high art'' and ``low art'' eroded away and art was accessible to everyone. The repeated image of Muse achieves this while also grappling with two other common issues: the male gaze and modesty. Here, the figure meets the viewer with an intense and even sensual eye (reminiscent of Edouard Manet’s Olympia, 1863) but at the same time gazes over her shoulder, hiding her nude body in a shy and reserved manner.
