by James Rosenquist (Author), Larry Warsh (Editor)
A beautifully illustrated and designed book of the important Pop artist's previously unpublished working studies
This book sheds new light on the fascinating working processes of American Pop artist James Rosenquist. Using the techniques of billboard painting and the visual language of advertising, Rosenquist's paintings explore consumer culture, politics, war, and other themes through startling juxtapositions of powerful imagery, including of cars, women, celebrities, food, appliances, a fighter jet, and the mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb. James Rosenquist: Collages, Drawings, and Paintings in Process presents previously unpublished preparatory work by the artist--quick sketches to capture ideas, detailed studies, color keys, source materials, and photographs--alongside the iconic paintings that resulted.Author Biography
