Screenprint in colors on wove paper – Signed in pencil and annotated – Published by International Images, Inc., Putney, Vermont, with the blindstamp of the printer, Screened Images, New York – Image: 31 x 46in (78.7 x 116.8cm) – Sheet 40 x 58 1/4in (101.6 x 148cm) // “Monica in Robe with Motherwell” by Tom Wesselmann is a vivid screen-print that blends pop art’s boldness with an intimate portrayal of a reclining female figure. Monica, depicted in a relaxed pose, is central to the composition, outlined in clean and expressive lines. Her body, partially covered by a loosely draped robe, contrasts with a vibrant, abstract background that suggests elements from Robert Motherwell’s works, reflecting a dialogue between figurative and abstract art. Wesselmann’s use of sharp colors, simplified forms, and clear contours highlights his characteristic style of merging sensuality with a playful, almost graphic-like representation.
