| MEL
RAMOS [1935 - ]
 |
1935 Born: July 24, Sacramento, CA
Though primarily a
figurative painter, Mel Ramos has experimented freely with realist
and abstract art forms for the past twenty years. A few of his
works, such as the ones here, embody both formats. This combination
works to enhance the detail and feature of each format while
detracting from the duality of the image making it wholly singular.
The popularity of his works is evident in the fact that since
1959 he has participated in more than 120 group shows. Born
in Sacramento, Calif. in 1935 he has enjoyed great success and
critical acclaim as an adventuresome artist with the creativity
and sense of humor it takes to remain on top. Mel Ramos received
his first important recognition in the early 1960s. Ramos, along
with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes
Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, produced art works that celebrated
aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media. His
paintings were shown along with theirs in major exhibitions
of Pop Art both in this country and in Europe and were reproduced,
often with irony, in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout
the world.
Some critical observers
of the "art scene" persist in classifyin Mel Ramos
as a Pop Artist. His identification with the Pop movement of
the 1960's was much too narrow to account for the braoder context
of his paintings. His humor is not satire of ridicule. His "parodies"are
respectful, affectionate tributes, a celebration of images with
personal meanining.
