Lithograph // Reese's Rose by Mel Ramos is a provocative lithograph that merges pop culture and fine art with playful sensuality. The artwork features a pin-up style nude woman emerging from a partially unwrapped Reese's candy wrapper, blending advertising imagery with classic pin-up art in Ramos's characteristic tongue-in-cheek manner. The vibrant orange and yellow wrapper contrasts against the soft tones of the woman's skin, while the overall composition is set within a simple oval frame, drawing attention to the central figure. Ramos’s work often explores themes of consumerism, objectification, and the fusion of commercial imagery with traditional forms of beauty.

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.
