“I used what was around me...culture was what I used.”
A leading American Pop artist of the 1960s Tom Wesselmann’s monumental and bold artworks transcend to Pop Culture today. He rejected abstract expressionism in favor of bold representations of highly recognizable features. Tom Wesselmann made paintings, collages and assemblages that incorporate everyday objects and advertising ephemera. Themes of joy and pleasure run strong throughout his artworks.
