Mel Ramos (1935-2018) was an American pop artist, who is well known for his paintings of nudes and candy. Namely, he turned pin-up girls satirical in his creations. Even though Mel Ramos never became as famous as Andy Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein, he was one of 12 artists who exhibited in the 1963 Los Angeles County Museum of Art Pop art show, which introduced the brand new movement in art. It has been said that since Ramos worked full time as an art professor, there aren't 1000s of his hand painted works available, in comparison there are around 36 000 works by Warhol. In the 1970s Ramoses work was criticized by feminists, but if one looks at an art historical perspective of painting female nudes, he didn't do anything unholy.
Mel Ramos (1935 - 2018) oli Ameerika popkunstnik, kes on tuntud oma maalide poolest, mis kujutavad alasti naisi ja maiustusi. Nimelt muutis ta pin-up tüdrukud oma loomingus satiirilisteks. Kuigi Mel Ramos ei saavutanud kunagi sellist kuulsust nagu Andy Warhol või Roy Lichtenstein, siis oli ta üks 12st kunstnikust, kes osales 1963. aasta näitusel Los Angelese maakonna kunstimuuseumi popkunsti näitusel, mis uhiuut kunstisuunda tutvustas. Kuna Ramos töötas täiskohaga kunsti õppejõuna, siis ei ringle temalt tuhandeid käsitsi maalitud töid, võrdluseks on võimalik aga rääkida ligi 36 000 Warholi teosest. 1970. aastatel sattus Ramose looming feminismi kriitika alla, samas kui vaadata kunstiajaloolist aktimaalide traditsiooni, siis ei teinud ta midagi kohatut.
