“Painting by Tom Wesselmann: Sunset Nude with Wesselmann Still Life, 2004 (Oil on canvas)” / Bernard Jacobson Gallery / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.14062
American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is regarded as one of the founding members of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, Wessellmann produced artworks using imagery seen in everyday popular culture.
He is famous for his “Great American Nude” series beginning in the 1960s, which played on the “corruption of Eros by a consumer society.” This series feature female figures in highly suggestive forms and painted in very patriotic primary colors in red, white, yellow and blue.
In the 1970s, Wesselmann’s work became increasingly sculptural and started working with constructions and assemblages, but in his final years, Wesselmann returned to the female form in the “Sunset Nudes” series (pictured) with very simple lines and forms. The artist acknowledge the influence of Mondrian by choosing titles that recall the earlier painter’s works, and is he seen with his own still life painting, but painted in a style which bears influence from Henri Matisse.
