Tom Wesselmann — Study for Bedroom Painting with Tit & Lemon
Tom Wesselmann

Study for Bedroom Painting with Tit & Lemon

1968

A bold and intimate ink drawing on Bristol board, this study by Tom Wesselmann distills his signature Pop Art sensibility into spare, confident lines. The composition isolates fragmented forms — a female breast and a lemon — rendered with the clean, graphic economy that defined Wesselmann's exploration of everyday sensuality and domestic still life. As a preparatory work, it offers a glimpse into the artist's process, revealing how he reduced the human body and ordinary objects to their most essential, charged contours.
