Notable original contemporary Celebrity Portraits artworks
Contemporary celebrity portraits have been a popular subject for artists in recent years. One well-known artwork is "Queen" by Kehinde Wiley, created in 2005. The portrait depicts a young black woman wearing a crown and holding a scepter, surrounded by a colorful floral background. It challenges traditional notions of power and beauty by placing a woman of color in a position of authority.
Another famous contemporary celebrity portrait is "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" by Frida Kahlo, painted in 1940. The artwork shows the artist with a thorn necklace around her neck and a hummingbird perched on her shoulder. It is a deeply personal piece that reflects Kahlo’s physical and emotional pain, as well as her love of nature.
A more recent addition to the canon of celebrity portraits is "The Obama Portraits" by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, created in 2018. The paintings depict Barack and Michelle Obama in a regal, yet approachable manner. Wiley’s portrait of Barack Obama features the former president seated in a chair surrounded by foliage, while Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama shows her against a bright blue background, wearing a flowing dress.
Finally, "Marilyn Diptych" by Andy Warhol, created in 1962, is a classic example of a contemporary celebrity portrait. The artwork is made up of 50 silkscreened images of Marilyn Monroe, arranged in a grid pattern. It highlights the cult of celebrity and the commodification of fame, while also serving as a tribute to Monroe’s enduring legacy.
