Suddenly Last Summer 1963

Martial Raysse's "Suddenly Last Summer" (1963) is an example of Pop Art that uses bold colors and fragmented imagery to depict a reclining female figure. The bright orange, green, and blue colors create a striking visual impact and a sense of immediacy. The figure is divided into separate sections, highlighting the artist's interest in abstraction and the use of fragmented forms. The image is further fragmented by the addition of a red striped towel and a pink hat, suggesting a playful and carefree summer mood. This painting is characteristic of Raysse's artistic style, which is influenced by pop culture and the vibrant hues of everyday objects.
