Tom Wesselmann - Flowers
, Kehrer Verlag Heidelberg 2010, 2010 Hardcover, 123 pages, English, 285 x 225 mm, book in new state, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9783868281903.
Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), one of the legendary founding fathers of Pop Art in the 1960s, maintained a special relationship with the aesthetic discipline of still life. Perhaps the productive and intelligent renewal of the seemingly marginal genre even places the decisive importance of his contribution to contemporary art rather than the use of the urban idiom of popular culture. The present publication provides an overview of Wesselmann's diverse floral still lifes and contains not only a knowledgeable essay by Klaus Honnef but also excerpts from the unpublished book "Summer in the Country" with texts, pictures and photos by Tom Wesselmann

Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) became one of the leading American Pop artists of the 1960s, rejecting abstract expressionism in favor of the classical representations of the nude, still life, and landscape. He created collages and assemblages incorporating everyday objects and advertising ephemera in an effort to make images as powerful as the abstract expressionism he admired. He is perhaps best known for his Great American Nude series with their fat forms and intense colors. In the seventies, Wesselmann continued to explore the ideas and media which had preoccupied him during the Sixties. Most significantly, his large Standing Still Life series, composed of free standing shaped canvases, showed small intimate objects on a grand scale. In 1980 Wesselmann, using the pseudonym Slim Stealingworth, wrote an autobiography documenting the evolution of his artistic work. He continued exploring shaped canvases (first exhibited in the 1960s) and began creating his first works in metal. He instigated the development of a laser-cutting application, which would allow him to make a faithful translation of his drawings in cut-out metal. The 1990s and early 2000s saw the artist expanding on these themes, creating abstract three-dimensional images that he described as ?going back to what I had desperately been aiming for in 1959.? He had indeed come full circle. In his final years he returned to the female form in his Sunset Nudes series of oil paintings on canvas, whose bold compositions, abstract imagery, and sanguine moods often recall the odalisques of Henri Matisse.
