....Tom Wesselmann was born in
Cincinnati in 1931, and studied art first in Cincinnati, then in New
York at the cooper Union. His early paintings were evocative
of Abstract Expressionism, influenced
by Willem de Kooning. One of the
first Pop artists, along with Andy
Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Claes
Oldenburg, Wesselmann started
experiments in 1959 with small, abstract collages. Then, in
1960, he adopted advertising images to make bold amusing still lifes
and interiors, collages and assemblages using commonplace household
items, and often, a highly stylized female nude.
Wesselmann began The Great American
Nude Series in 1961, a series of large and
small works distinguished by nubmer only. Some of the works
included real rather than depicted objects, household objects such
as a bathtub, radiator, and toaster. He has continued to
feature the female nude in evey major series of paintings and
sculpture throughout his career... |
