The Movie Poster

I

A figure stops on a street to view a movie poster of Marilyn Monroe. The figure a man , Segal's friend George Kunan  modelled for the figure. The figure carries a paper bag which places him in the world of the mundane  and ordinary. What activity was the man engaged in when he was distracted and interrupted by the glamorous image of Marilyn which transports him from the world of mundanity to the world of glamour. The image of Monroe creates connotations of Pop Art iconography, the actress is brought near to us , but paradoxically also inaccessible and remote , the poster is a window to another world , the bag ties and places the figure  in the mundanity of ordinary  life.
