German Edition. First Printing. Edited by Otto Letze. Mel Ramos (Born 1935 in Sacramento), one of the most significant figures of Pop Art borrows motifs from the mass media and commercial advertisements for his works, just as his contemporaries Andy Warhol and Roy Lichenstein. To create his paintings, he combines a wide variety of consumer goods with immaculate, self-confident, and frequently naked women. Drawing upon imagery in pinup magazines of the fifties and the sixties and the lifestyle magazines of today, he portrays his female figures wrapped lasciviously around the products with which he pairs them. This publications offers a survey of Ramos's production over the last fifty years, ranging from the first self-portrait he executed in 1959 to his most recent three-dimensional works. Squarebound Softcover. 6 1/2" X 8 3/4". 280 pages. Full Color. English Language.
