Description: 

Tom Wesselmann’s Seascape (Tit) (1967) stands as a bold and emblematic example of his redefinition of Pop Art toward the erotic and the sensual. In this work, the artist isolates a close-up fragment of the female nude — a breast set against a stylized seascape — rendered in his signature flat, vibrant colors and clean contours. The composition emphasizes form and surface over realism, transforming a traditional subject into a modern icon of desire.

By focusing on a single erogenous detail, Wesselmann shifts Pop Art’s gaze from consumer goods to the idealized body, simultaneously celebrating and critiquing the culture of sexualized imagery. Despite the provocative subject, Wesselmann himself denied any intent of social critique, maintaining that his works were purely visual explorations of beauty, color, and form.

Printed in a limited edition of 100, Seascape (Tit) is signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a gallery certificate of authenticity. It remains a quintessential work in the artist’s oeuvre, bridging classical sensuality with the bold immediacy of 1960s Pop Art.
