MEL RAMOS (1935-2018) A Pop artist famous for his comic-book like images, Mel Ramos is clearly inscribed in the early Pop Art movement. Like Roy Lichtenstein, he was inspired at the beginning of his career by American comics, by Batman and Flash Gordon logos. In 1965, he first developed his most notable works depicting voluptuous naked pin-up girls alongside mass-marketed products, choosing to illustrate them on backgrounds represented by candy bars, cigarettes and other branded items. His work contributed to the contemporary evolution of the female nude, and his pieces are well-known for exploring the ways in which modern culture has cast the female body as interchangeable with beauty and consumerism. Many of his works are present in public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, the Guggenheim and the MoMA in New York.

Mel Ramos
Mel Ramos’s provocative, humorous paintings mix idealized nude women with the imagery of popular culture—Coca Cola bottles, movie posters, and the like. A prolific artist from his emergence in the 1960s onward, Ramos has often based his nudes on the female celebrities of the day, from Marilyn Monroe to Scarlett Johansson. His style references the sensuality and glossy flatness of pin-ups and Playboy spreads and has drawn the ire of feminists and art critics alike, despite Ramos’s assertion that his works are “apolitical”. Though clearly aligned with Pop art in his appropriation of imagery from mass media and consumer products, Ramos calls his practice rooted in Surrealism and its emphasis on “absurd conjunctions”—in his case, a beautiful nude woman emerging from a Snickers wrapper or lounging seductively in a banana split.
