Since the mid 1960s, Mel Ramos has developed his own kind <strong>of</strong> pop<br />

art, typically with nude models placed decoratively in relation to<br />

consumer goods <strong>of</strong> over dimensioned size and wild animals. In his<br />

paintings, he makes use <strong>of</strong> the images <strong>of</strong> advertising and mass culture,<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten achieving a humorous and poster-like effect. Together<br />

with Ed Ruscha and Wayne Thiebaud, Mel Ramos is one <strong>of</strong> the leading<br />

pop artists <strong>of</strong> the American West Coast.<br />
