Monica Sitting, Arm on Knee (Gray)
1985
Tom Wesselmann's "Monica Sitting, Arm on Knee (Gray)" exemplifies his Pop Art approach to the female figure through bold, simplified forms rendered in enamel on laser cut steel. The work reduces the seated figure to essential contours and planes, emphasizing the geometric possibilities of the body rather than anatomical detail. By employing industrial materials and processes, Wesselmann elevates a figurative subject while simultaneously engaging with the aesthetics of mass production and contemporary fabrication techniques.
