Like his fellow painters Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, US artist Mel Ramos takes on motifs from mass media and advertising. Ramos is Pop Art artist, painter of pin-up girls, a representative of abstract Expressionism and has even been named the quintessential American figurative painter. In the early 1960s, he attracted attention with painted appropriations of Comic-book heroes such as Batman and Superman, and with his popular subjects he occupies a firm place in the highest echelons of the international Pop Art movement. In the mid-1960s, he started incorporating pin-ups into his paintings, which he combines in a drastic manner with consumer products. Born 1935 in Sacramento, California he parodies trivial advertising strategies and is one of the last living great artists of the American Pop Art movement Ramos, Mel (RERO)A018036036 rero Galerie Hilger (Wien) (IDREF)032686994 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero RERO RE61002 RE61002 RE610020015 BAA JC Q 1289 RERO 710 2- Galerie Hilger (Wien) (IDREF)032686994
