Commanding in scale yet intimate in detail, Jonathan Bermudes’ Red Smoking Star captures Marilyn Monroe in a cinematic moment that feels at once vintage Hollywood and strikingly contemporary. The 65‑inch‑wide, diasec‑mounted gelatin‑silver print gleams with the same high‑gloss allure prized by fashion‑portrait legends such as Bert Stern and Douglas Kirkland, while its pop‑icon aura evokes Andy Warhol’s and Russell Young’s celebrated Marilyn series.
