American painter, born in Sacramento, California. Since the early 1960s Ramos, along with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Liechtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, produced art works that celebrated aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media. His paintings were shown along with theirs in major exhibitions of Pop Art and were reproduced, often with irony in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout the world.
