Known for his Pop-Art nude figures--the Great American Nude Series-- as
well as collages, often with food themes, Tom Wesselmann is a
Cincinnati born artist who studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and
at Cooper Union in New York City in the late 1950s.
When he was
a student at Cooper Union, he was much influenced by Abstract
Expressionism, especially Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock.
However, he turned away from that style because he determined these
artists had become so (showing 500 of 6191 characters). |
