Tom Wesselmann, best known for his series of Great
American Nudes, begun in the early 60s and continuing still, is one of
the more subtle of the American Pop artists, known more for isolating and
abstracting items of the pop visual experience into a new two-dimensional
context, than for layering it on. 
As might be guessed from the title of
his most famous series, his imagery often partakes of the female body, or
parts of it.Seen as one of the 'hardcore' Pop Artists, Tom Wesselmann painted
bright and bold still life. This particular publication covers all aspects
of his career including his best known works, with a critical text that the
explains the ambiguity and almost arbitrary use of colour that have become
his hallmark-described by one critic as newmatic glamour.
