James Rosenquist (1933-2017) was an American Pop artist. He is known for his large-format collage paintings. Most of the images are taken from advertisements and mass media and appear random in their fragmentary nature. At the same time, the artist raises his cultural, social and political concerns through his images: famous people, consumer goods, weapons, etc. Rosenquist was one of the first artists to directly address the persuasiveness and deception of advertising. Presented through the lens of Surrealism, his work can remain somewhat mysterious as commercial art, American advertising, and fragmentation confront each other in the kaleidoscope of Rosenquist’s art.
