Answer to Question 1

Both artworks are thematically connected as they involve women's grooming activities. The methods in which they are presented are different as one is abstracted and the other is more naturalistic.

Answer to Question 2

The Mona Lisa gained popularity after being presented to the public in museums. Celebrity is determined by popularity and exposure. Warhol recognized this concept and used the Mona Lisa image in his artwork to convey the celebrity surrounding an image that is instantly recognizable. Although admired in its time, the Mona Lisa's current fame is a product of our own modern era, in which museums separate art from ordinary life.
