// Manet's Olympia by Mel Ramos, created in 1974, is a limited edition lithograph that reinterprets Édouard Manet’s iconic painting Olympia with a contemporary twist. In this humorous homage, Ramos replaces the traditional reclining nude with a bold, modern pin-up model who gazes directly at the viewer with confidence. The setting mirrors Manet’s composition, including a Black attendant presenting a bouquet, yet Ramos infuses the scene with his pop art sensibilities. The artwork blends classical art references with modern commercial aesthetics, engaging with themes of gender, art history, and consumer culture. Ramos’s playful, satirical approach bridges the past and present, reexamining the representation of femininity and beauty.
