Artist Bio
James Rosenquist (American, 1933-2017)
James Rosenquist was an American artist and one of the proponents of the Pop art movement. Drawing from his background working in sign painting, Rosenquist’s pieces often explored the role of advertising and consumer culture in art and society, utilizing techniques he learned making commercial art to depict popular cultural icons and mundane everyday objects. His pieces were unique in the Pop Art movement due to the way that they often employed elements of surrealism using fragments of advertisements and cultural imagery to emphasize the overwhelming nature of ads.
