Mouth #8 1966

Tom Wesselmann's 1966 *Mouth #8* is a prime example of the artist's iconic Pop Art style. The work depicts a large, exaggerated pair of lips in a vibrant red, with a set of white teeth and a pink interior, creating a bold, humorous, and somewhat unsettling image. The work’s emphasis on consumerism and the objectification of the female form reflects the cultural zeitgeist of the 1960s. Wesselmann's playful and challenging approach to subject matter cemented his position as a leading figure in Pop Art.
