Pencil on paper - Unique drawing // Mel Ramos’s Study for Still Life: Sketch #2 (1995) is a playful and iconic pencil drawing featuring a nude woman lounging inside a large martini glass. The exaggerated proportions and pose are classic hallmarks of Ramos’s style, merging pin-up imagery with pop art aesthetics. The woman’s legs are raised, and she appears to be relaxing comfortably, smiling directly at the viewer. The oversized martini glass, complete with a small olive on the side, adds a sense of whimsy and lightness to the composition. The clean, minimal pencil lines emphasize the figure's playful sensuality while the exaggerated setting contributes to the work’s playful, yet provocative nature.

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.
