How do elements of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe suggest both a depersonalized stereotype and an iconic feminist figure?

What will be an ideal response?

2. The flat blocks of color and simplified lines reduce her to a cartoon representation but also suggest a mask that conceals another identity, the "real" one beneath.
