Judy and the Jaeger

Mel Ramos was an American Pop Artist best known for his paintings of nude women paired with everyday consumer goods including cigarette packs, candy, martini glasses and other popular items. The polished look of Ramos’s paintings draws from the aesthetics of mass media advertisements – as well as the work of his fellow Pop artists including Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The blatancy of his work satirizes the commodification of the female body in the service of capitalism and consumer culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
