Hand signed by the artist, front. Hav a Havanna #7 by Mel Ramos is a 2008 lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s distinctive blend of pop art, advertising imagery, and pin-up aesthetics. The composition presents a reclining nude figure posed across an oversized cigar labeled “Havana,” combining sensual imagery with consumer iconography. Ramos became widely known for integrating glamorous female figures with recognizable commercial products, transforming everyday objects into playful and provocative symbols of popular culture. The polished realism of the figure contrasts with the stylized, almost graphic rendering of the cigar and background, emphasizing the visual language of advertising that inspired much of Ramos’s work. The print measures approximately 76 × 113 cm (29.9 × 44.5 inches) and was produced in a limited edition of 199, signed by the artist on the front.

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.
