Pencil on paper - Unique drawing - Sheet: 66 x 51 cm - Image: 50.6 x 36.8 cm // Mel Ramos’s Study for Fonda: Sketch #1 (TIME) (1970) is a pencil drawing featuring an outline of a strong, confident female figure standing in the foreground, with a motorcycle and rider in the background. The title TIME is prominently displayed at the top of the composition, with the first letter T colored in a gradient of rainbow hues, adding a pop of color to the otherwise minimalist sketch. The central figure’s pose, with one leg forward and one hand on her hip, suggests empowerment and control, a common theme in Ramos’s work as he often explores the intersection of popular culture, femininity, and objectification. The work appears unfinished, with delicate pencil lines defining the figures, allowing the viewer to focus on form and composition.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
