About the Item
Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) remains one of the most iconic, collected--and sexy American Pop artists.
During the movement's key years, Wesselmann was ambivalent if not critical of his association with Pop Art. By the mid 1960's he increasingly focused on nudes, which would become his signature subject in his Great American Nudes series. This was a time where societal ideas surrounding sexuality and censorship were challenged. Wesselmann felt the need to address both the historical tradition of the painted nude, and its relevancy and meaning during his era. The artist once said “Painting, sex, and humor are the most important things in my life."
"Great American Brown Nude: Cut-Out" is a bold screenprint that exemplifies Wesselman's Pop Art approach to form. Realized in rich saturated shades of chocolate and mahogany, sharply outlined contours, this nude comes together in a striking image--both celebratory and confrontational in its stylized and joyful nature.
This print is a perfect icon of Wesselmann's oeuvre. A printer's proof from the legendary Chiron press, it is an exciting piece of Pop Art history.
