Biography
Mel Ramos (1935–2018) is regarded as one of the most significant American Pop Art artists. He became known for his humorous and provocative depictions of pin-up girls, often pairing them with brand products such as chocolate, cigarettes or drinks. Ramos studied art at Sacramento State College in California and was closely associated with Pop Art luminaries like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselmann. His works combine consumer critique with erotic visual language and are today represented in major museums as well as international private collections.
