Tom Wesselman. Nudes, still lifes and abstract landscape |
Noted art historian Lucy Lippard called Tom Wesselmann one of the five "hard-core" New York pop artists, joining Warhol, Lichtenstein, Rosenquist and Oldenburg. The phrase defines the brazen quality of Wesselmann’s painted images of nudes, still lifes and abstract landscapes.
Influenced by the work of abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning, Wesselman gained a sense of filling a canvas and pushing images to the outer edges. He explored collage and assemblages, and these designs were to be precursors to his famous 100-piece Great American Nude series of the 1960s.
The artist’s distinctive style hints at techniques used in advertising posters, with flat, bright, billboard colors set against clean white backgrounds. The figures he creates are faceless, yet provocative, and all are painted with luscious red lips.
Wesselmann’s paintings possess charm and reveal the artist’s outrageous vision of femininity. In addition to his paintings, he created 3-dimensional cut out figures in aluminum, steel and enamel.
Opera Gallery is located in the Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour. For more information call 305-868.3337 or log on to www.operagallery.com
