Wild Girl 1963

"Wild Girl" is a 1963 painting by Mel Ramos, known for his Pop Art style that often explores themes of sexuality and popular culture. This artwork features a curvaceous woman in a zebra-print swimsuit standing in a lush jungle setting. The bright colors, bold outlines, and graphic style are characteristic of Ramos' work, which frequently references images from comic books, advertising, and pin-up art. The playful juxtaposition of the woman's seductive presence with the tropical backdrop creates a visually engaging and thought-provoking piece that exemplifies the Pop Art movement's exploration of everyday imagery and consumer culture.
