Items related to Mel Ramos: Heroines, Godesses, Beauty Queens
Alongside Tom Wesselmann, Andy Warhol and Allen Jones, Mel Ramos belongs to a group of artists who deal intensively with the subjects of eroticism, sex, fetishism and obsession. Ramos's paintings and graphic art use bright, provocative, seductive and sometimes vulgar imagery of women, sex enjoyment and entertainment. His libidinous message often makes art purists blush with shame, and seems to hurt the sense of decency of self-proclaimed art moralisers. In vulgar energetic positions, Mel Ramos drapes his pin-up-girls on painted products. At first sight his works may appear to be a typical product advertisement. However, there is something stranger and surrealistic about them as Ramos parodies the hollow commercialisation of sex drive satisfaction.
