Tom Wesselmann - Monica sitting with her arms crossed (1985-89)

 Tom Wesselmann is widely considered one of America's foremost Pop artists, known for his collages, prints, paintings, and sculptures depicting still lifes, landscapes, and nudes. Throughout his career, Wesselmann reinterpreted these themes in his own distinctive visual language, characterized by simplified lines and bold, flat primary colors, often incorporating symbols of American culture. He also made a large number of etchings, watercolor drawings and silkscreen prints, and in 1978 the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, mounted an exhibition dedicated to his graphic works. . In 1984 Wesselmann began creating three-dimensional images using cut metal. He enlarged small doodles, cut them out of steel and aluminum and painted them in vivid colors. These drawings include shapes and internal voids, making them the ideal medium for manipulating the clean lines and flat shapes of his paintings.(Christie's, London - Enamel on laser-cut steel , 91.4 x 58.4 cm)
