Mel Ramos was born 1935 in Sacramento, California and died 2018 in Oakland, California. He attended Sacramento Junior College and San Jose State College. One of his earliest art teachers was Wayne Thiebaud, who is considered his mentor, and who remains a friend. Ramos received his B.A. and his M.A. from Sacramento State College, finishing his education in 1958. Ramos received his first important recognition in the early 1960s. Since 1959 he has participated in more than 120 group shows. Along with Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, he was one of the first artists to do paintings of images from comic books, and works of the three were exhibited together at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1963. Along with Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselman and Wayne Thiebaud, Ramos produced art works that celebrated aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media. His paintings have been shown in major exhibitions of Pop art in the U.S. and in Europe, and reproduced in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout the world. Ramos is 'best known for his paintings of superheroes and voluptuous female nudes emerging from cornstalks or Chiquita bananas, popping up from candy wrappers or lounging in martini glasses'. Mel Ramos lived and worked in Oakland (California) and Horta de San Juan (Spain).

Features and remarks
You are bidding here on an autographed print by the pop art icon Mel Ramos.
The print was created in 2010 in an edition of 750 copies (+ 100 artist’s proofs).
The reference to Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans” is unmistakable.
The theme of sensuality and pop culture is characteristic of the famous pin-up artist Ramos. Female beauty lounges alongside well-known symbols and logos of American culture, particularly those of confectionery and luxury food manufacturers – true to the motto: Give me sweets!
