Tom Wesselman

Tom Wesselmann was one of the founding members of the Pop Art movement in America.

Alongside Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, and James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann defined one of the most progressive movements in the history of American art.

Spurred on by the flashy images of advertising, Wesselmann developed a style that reflected a contemporary culture consumed by mass media and a society obsessed with objects.  His flat colors, clean lines, and bold yet seemingly anonymous presentation of the female figure characterizes Wesselmann’s art for over four decades.
