To create his paintings, he combines a wide variety of consumer goods with immaculate, self-confident, and frequently naked women. Drawing upon the imagery in pinup magazines of the fifties and sixties and the lifestyle magazines of today, he portrays his female figures wrapped lasciviously around the products with which he pairs them. This publication offers a survey of Ramos’s production over the last fifty years, ranging from the first self-portrait he executed in 1959 to his most recent three-dimensional works. On the occasion of the artist’s first large-scale museum retrospective in Europe as well as his seventy-fifth birthday, this volume presents several insightful essays and illustrations of around ninety works drawn from the various series Ramos has produced, including his earliest figurative paintings, his depictions of comic-book heroes and heroines, the Fashion and Animal Paintings, his famous pinup girls, his tributes to art history, his landscapes, and his sketches and recent sculptures. \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e(English edition \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2531-6)\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; BACKGROUND: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunsthalle Tübingen, January 23–May 25, 2010 \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e| \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eAlbertina,\u0026nbsp;Vienna February\u0026nbsp;4–May 8, 2011 \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e| And further venues\u003c\/SPAN\u003e \u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND: white\"\u003e\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755196129544,"sku":"9783775725309","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775725309_581f6c3c-5569-4e40-a4c2-5d57a14c7bf3.jpg?v=1744117089","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16316-mel-ramos","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
