Synopsis
In the early 1960s, Mel Ramos (born 1935), one of the first artists to embrace Pop art, abandoned Abstract Expressionism and began to produce the work for which he is best known: glossy, flat paintings of idealized, voluptuous female nudes emerging from banana peels, lounging on top of cigars or caressing bottles of ketchup. Taking advertising's enduring maxim "sex sells" to its most extreme ends, Ramos poses the nude female figure in erotic, occasionally even vulgar, positions on top of the most banal consumer goods. Beauty queens, martini glasses, nude Hollywood starlets and hamburgers are given equal attention in Ramos' artistic universe; if Ramos has been criticized for commodifying the female form it must also be acknowledged that he eroticizes the commodity. Mel Ramos: Superman at the Supermarket is a homage to Ramos, published in celebration of his 80th birthday.

- l***r (128)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseImage of the book is completely different from the actual book. The condition of the book is as described. However, there are stickers on the book saying no exchange and no returns, yet the listing says it can be returned so which is it? I won't be returning it because the book is still the same book, just different than the image presented. Overall, this transaction was good. I just wish sellers would use the actual picture of the item being sold instead of a stock image.
