Mel RAMOS (American, 1935-2018)
Melvin John Ramos (July 24, 1935 – October 14, 2018) was an American figurative painter, specializing most often in
paintings of female nudes, whose work incorporates elements of realist and abstract art. Born in Sacramento, California,
to a first generation Portuguese-Azorean immigrant family, he gained his popularity as part of the pop art movement of
the 1960s. Ramos is "best known for his paintings of superheroes and voluptuous female nudes emerging from
cornstalks or Chiquita bananas, popping up from candy wrappers or lounging in martini glasses". He was also a
university art professor.
