No one has depicted Americana as well as Mel Ramos: with brashness and ecstasy, he shows the country's frenzied consumer culture. He synthesizes artifacts with nude women rampant in advertising that populate his imagination.
"I've painted male portraits, but basically I'm interested in the female figure. Why is that? What do you want me to say about that? I love women; I'm a healthy, masculine American. And women are objects of desire for me. That's the truth." Mel Ramos
