Homage to William DeKooning. // I Still Get a Thrill When I See Bill 111 by Mel Ramos, created in 1979, is a limited edition lithograph that pays homage to the renowned abstract expressionist William De Kooning. This artwork combines figurative and abstract elements, depicting a woman’s face in a realistic style at the top, set against an abstract, gestural form that suggests her seated body. The dynamic black strokes and splatters evoke the energy and spontaneity characteristic of De Kooning’s work, while Ramos’s realistic portrait anchors the piece in contrast. This blend of abstraction and realism creates a unique visual dialogue, capturing a sense of admiration and reverence for De Kooning’s artistic influence.

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.
