  M B F A- Mark Borghi Fine Art Inc -Tom Wesselman (born 1931)
Tom Wesselmann, as an art student at New York's Cooper Union, was a devotee of the Abstract Expressionists Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock among others.
His turning away from their example came about with the realization that those painters had carried their investigations into the possibilities of painting so far into themselves that there was little room in which a newcomer from the next generation might carry on.
The swing of the pendulum was complete, from the esoteric to the commonplace, from passionate individualism to the popular language of the marketplace.

EI de Tom Wesselmann es un caso de vocación artística relativamente tardía.
Sin embargo, lejos de confinarse en los lenguajes ya conquistados, su obra dará un importante salto cualitativo en 1983, cuando termina sus primeros trabajos sobre metal recortado, técnica que absorberá la mayor parte de su atención desde entonces y que irá perfeccionando gracias al ordenador.
Wesselman vuelca en este soporte sus temas habituales -desnudos y bodegones-, y otros casi inéditos en su obra anterior, como el paisaje.

He was born in that quintessentially American city, Cincinnati, Ohio; his father was a paper industry executive; Tom was one of three children, and they all lived together in a brick and frame house, with a basketball court in the backyard.
As mom and pop expected of Tom, he graduated from high school without manifesting any interest in books or ideas and enrolled at college; there was no hint of a taste for art and no knowledge of it.
He is survived by his wife Claire, his daughters Kate and Jenny, and his son Lane.

Fame and notoriety have followed pioneer Pop artist Tom Wesselman, at first because of the erotic imagery of his Great American Nudes of the 1960s and continuing with his series of Smoker mouths in the 1970s, enormous, partially free standing still-lifes moved into sculptural space.
An innovative printmaker, Wesselman adapted his Pop imagery to a variety of printmaking medium.
Formerly in the collections of RJR Industries, the print was given to Wake Forest when the company moved its corporate headquarters from Winston-Salem to Atlanta.

In the past few years, after travelling to India, Cramer’s techniques have become much more humble and reflective.

 Tom Wesselmann Skot Foreman Gallery
The new point of view was not merely popular, it was "pop," assertive, declamatory, defiant: achieving a stylistic identity in the soup cans of Andy Warhol, the comic strips of Roy Lichtenstein, the billboards of James Rosenquist, and the domestic icons of Tom Wesselmann.
Considered now, twenty years after its beginning, Pop Art can be appreciated more fully as a tonic reminder of the fact that creativity begins in the relationship of the artist to things "out there," the received experience of the immediate and tangible.

If the chronological path through The MoMA in Berlin generally progresses like a tour through 20th-century art history, times and epochs nonetheless overlap here and there.
The encounter has an amazing effect: although almost forty years lie between Stuart Davis’ graphically reduced oil painting Odol (1924) and Tom Wesselmann’s kitchen assemblage Still Life #30 (1963) in cool mint hues, they are both imbued with the same esprit.
In their own individual ways, both works stand for a reduction to “what is,” for a direct visual language of everyday things, products, and packaging – and they represent those attributes typical to an American art tending towards the real: pragmatism, objectivity, a sense of reality, and entertainment.

 The Nude in American Painting, 1950—1980 - Cambridge University Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Challenging received ideas concerning the proper course of modernist painting, these works reasserted one of the most important themes of twentieth-century visual culture: the body within representation.
This study focuses on selected nudes by seven noted American painters, including Larry Rivers, Tom Wesselman, Sylvia Sleigh, and Joan Semmel, and examines the complex range of issues and ideas associated with the nude in postwar American culture.
In a period that witnessed the shaping of sexual liberation by the Kinsey reports, the publication of Playboy, and the feminist critique of sexism and identity, the nude, David McCarthy argues, served as an ideal subject for painting's engagement with the most important issues of its historical moment.
