James Rosenquist (American, b. 1933)

Arguably the most openly political artist associated with the Pop Art movement, James Rosenquist studied at the University of Minnesota under Cameron Booth. He painted his first billboard in 1954, and a year later was awarded a scholarship to attend the Art Students League in New York. After completing his studies, he began a career as a commercial billboard painter, laying the foundations for his later large-scale compositions. His fragmented imagery drew from many commercial, social and political sources; During the Vietnam War, Rosenquist became more openly critical of the military-industrial complex and American consumerism. In 2003, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum mounted a major retrospective of his works, which traveled to the Menil Collection, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Rosenquist lives and works in Aripeka, Florida.
