// Hav a Havanna 2 by Mel Ramos is a 1998 limited edition serigraph that combines pop art sensibilities with playful sensuality. In this piece, a nude woman poses partially behind a large, hyper-realistic Cuban cigar labeled Cohiba. The bright yellow background contrasts with the warm tones of the cigar and the model's skin, making both figures pop with vibrant intensity. Ramos is known for his works that blend commercial imagery with pin-up aesthetics, often blurring the line between advertisement and fine art. Here, he evokes humor and allure, using iconic branding to highlight themes of luxury, desire, and consumer culture.

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.
