Pencil and thinned Liquitex on paper - The work is recorded with the Wesselmann Estate under number D7630 (written in pencil on verso) // Study for Carol Nude by Tom Wesselmann, created in 1976, is a vibrant and intimate drawing made with pencil and thinned Liquitex on paper. The composition features a reclining nude woman, posed on a bright, modern couch, with bold colors and simple, clean lines.

The subject, Carol, lies in a relaxed, sensual pose, with various objects, such as flowers and a framed photograph, arranged in the background. The careful balance of vibrant hues contrasts with the soft, natural rendering of the figure, giving the work a playful yet sophisticated air. This piece is recorded with the Wesselmann Estate under number D7630. Study for Carol Nude showcases Wesselmann's ability to blend the everyday with the sensual, a hallmark of his explorations of the female form in his work.

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.
