James Rosenquist

1988

ENG EST

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.
James Rosenquist (1933-2017) oli Ameerika popkunstnik. Ta on tuntud oma suureformaadiliste kollaažmaalide poolest. Enamus pilte on võetud reklaamidest ja massimeediast ning mõjuvad oma fragmentaarsuses juhuslikena. Samas tõstatab kunstnik läbi oma kujutatavate: kuulsate inimeste, tarbekaupade, relvade jne, oma kultuurilise, sotsiaalse ja poliitilise mure. Rosenquist oli üks esimesi kunstnikke, kes käsitles otseselt reklaamide veenvust ning petlikkust. Tema looming on esitatud läbi sürrealismi objektiivi ning see võib jääda teatavas mõttes salapäraseks, kuivõrd Rosenquisti kunsti kaleidoskoobis vaatavad vastu kommertskunst, Ameerika reklaamid ja fragmentaarsus.
