lindy_b 's review for:
Memoirs of Hadrian
by Marguerite Yourcenar
There are a lot of painters who paint almost nothing but photorealistic portraits of Marilyn Monroe. They claim that they've got a deep artistic vision relating to the intrigue of old Hollywood or midcentury kitsch, but I've never been able to understand it-- Marilyn Monroe is an interesting figure to be sure, but what am I to take from endless derivations of her glamour shots where her lips are redder and her waist smaller? Evidence of the artists' devotion to a symbol of a particular aesthetic? Sell me on the devotion maybe? Why should I even care?
Anyway that's also how I feel about this book.
