Mel Ramos dies at age 83

16.10.2018


Pop Art legend Mel Ramos was born in 1935 in Sacramento, California. He became an important figure in the first generation of American Pop artists, who predominantly came from the East Coast, such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. In 1963 his work was included in the exhibition "Pop goes the Easel" in the Contemporary Art Museum in Houston, TX. In 1965 the group show "Neue Realisten und Pop Art" took place at the Akademie der Künste in then West-Berlin. 1966-67 the group show "11 Pop Artists" toured the US as well as coming to Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. The new art movement Pop made an impact and was here to stay.
 

Mel Ramos painting style was influenced by his teacher Wayne Thiebaud, the imagery in his art was influenced by comics and advertising. His wife Leta, who he married in 1955, was his muse and stood model for his paintings and drawings many times. Since the 1970's he has been travelling between California and Spain, where he owned a house in the pictoresque village of Horta de San Juan.

The Albertina in Vienna showed in 2011 a major show of his work; 2012 he was honored by his hometown Sacramento with a retrospective of over 50 years of his work at the Crocker Art Museum.
 

Mel Ramos passed away at age 83 on October 14, 2018 in Oakland, CA.
