Aquatint and embossing // Tom Wesselmann’s Monica Nude with Purple Robe, created in 1990, is a limited edition print combining aquatint and embossing techniques, measuring 38 by 59 inches. The artwork depicts a reclining female nude with minimal yet expressive black lines that define the contours of the figure. The subject, draped loosely in a patterned robe, exudes a sense of relaxed sensuality. Wesselmann’s signature style, characterized by clean lines and an economy of detail, highlights the form of the figure while leaving much of the space open, creating a striking contrast between the bold outlines and the white background. The use of embossing adds a subtle texture, enhancing the tactile quality of the piece and giving the robe a more three-dimensional effect. This work exemplifies Wesselmann’s exploration of the female form in an elegant and minimalist manner.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
