Lithograph on Arches paper - Hand-signed by the artist and numbered // Arman Fernandez's 'Aesculapius Hammer' is a 1977 lithograph that exemplifies his fascination with repetition and the deconstruction of everyday objects. The image features multiple overlapping prints of hammers arranged in a semi-circular, almost fan-like pattern. Rendered in bold strokes of black, blue, and green, the hammers seem to cascade across the composition, creating a sense of movement and rhythm. The title references Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, suggesting a deeper connection to healing tools, possibly indicating the medical hammer used in reflex tests. Arman's signature style of using repetition transforms the mundane object into an abstract, dynamic composition, reflecting his exploration of the intersection between art and functionality.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
