Tom Wesselmann — From Smoker #7
Tom Wesselmann

From Smoker #7

1976

Tom Wesselmann's *From Smoker #7* is a dynamic work executed in pencil and Liquitex on 100% rag paper, capturing the artist's signature bold graphic sensibility. The piece distills the intimate act of smoking into a striking interplay of line and color, reflecting Wesselmann's fascination with fragmented, sensory details of everyday American life. The combination of precise pencil work with the vivid opacity of Liquitex acrylic creates a tension between drawing and painting that is central to Wesselmann's pop-inflected aesthetic.
