"Monica with Tulips" from 1989 is a print by the renowned American pop artist Tom Wesselmann, who is famous for his vibrant, sensual depictions of the female figure.
This work is part of Wesselmann’s ongoing exploration of the "Great American Nude" series, a body of work in which he delves into themes of female sexuality, beauty, and the American identity. In this particular print, Wesselmann portrays a reclining female figure, *Monica*, whose form is bold and stylized, rendered with flat, vibrant colors that emphasize sensuality. The figure’s curvaceous body is simplified into large, smooth planes, with an emphasis on the body’s natural curves and the soft contour of the face.
The stylized and somewhat abstracted depiction of the woman is framed by the inclusion of bright tulips, which serve as both a decorative element and a symbolic counterpart to the figure, evoking themes of femininity, desire, and natural beauty. The print exemplifies Wesselmann’s signature approach of blending high art with aspects of popular culture, infusing his work with elements of consumerism, advertising, and the mass media.
The use of flat color, bold outlines, and simplified forms is a hallmark of Wesselmann’s style, which combines figuration with abstraction. Through this juxtaposition, the artist encourages the viewer to examine how visual representations of women in both fine art and popular culture are shaped by society’s ideals of beauty. "Monica with Tulips" is a quintessential example of Wesselmann’s ability to create provocative and intimate imagery that challenges traditional representations of the female form, while also celebrating the complexity and allure of femininity. The print continues Wesselmann's exploration of the intersection between art, advertising, and the cultural narratives surrounding sexuality and the human body.

“I paint because painting is a private Utopia,” Erró writes of his art.
The landscapes in Erró’s work are a constantly changing kaleidoscope of images, multivalent and mysterious, not infrequently controversial, bursting with life – and titillating, too! There is room in his pictures for both paradise and visions of fear.
Erró is the alias of Gudmundur Gudmundsson, born on 19 July 1932 in Olafsvik, in north-western Iceland. Since Gudmundur first became enthralled by pictures of works of art in a catalogue from the Museum of Modern Art in New York at the tender age of ten, painting has been his passion and his mission in life. He was accepted into art school in Reykjavik as a 19-year old, subsequently complementing what he had learned there with further studies in Oslo. Erró travelled extensively in Spain, Italy, France and Germany in the 1950s, studying at the Florence Academy of Art in 1954 and at the School of Byzantine Mosaic Art in Ravenna in 1955. It was around this time that he began to exhibit his works, first and foremost in Paris, where he chose to make his home in 1958.
During the 1960s he established contact with the Swedish museum director Pontus Hultén, who encouraged him and took him under his wing.
Over the years Erró has taken part in hundreds of exhibitions and today his works are on show in museums all over the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Erró’s pictorial world is peopled by comic-strip characters and autocratic despots alike. Donald Duck with his Daisy, Chip & Dale, and other Walt Disney creations are unselfconsciously juxtaposed with Greek gods and madonnas. Elsewhere the German dictator Adolf Hitler stands shoulder to shoulder with his Iraqi counterpart Saddam Hussein...
