Throughout his work, the American Pop artist Tom Wesselmann often chose to zoom in on parts of the body to heighten their iconic status and bring a larger-than-life sensibility to his subject matter. In this mixed media collage from the 1960s, he does just that, rendering a beach scene in his unmistakably high-contrast, Pop style.
