Yet again I have discovered another artist of the Pop-Art movement, James Rosenquist. Rosenquist received his interest in the arts from his mother, who was also a painter. His l love of art grew after he won a scholarship to study at Minneapolis School of Art.
Eventually at the age of 21, he moved to New York and began studying at the Art Students League.
I enjoy James Rosenquist a great deal. Before he started painting he worked as a billboard painting and then applied the same techniques to his larger paintings which really impressed me. What I like about Rosenquist's work is his use of elements of pop-culture and advertising. Its funny that even though these are traits of pop-art, Rosenquist didn't really consider himself a pop-artist.
After reviewing my blog and reviewing the works of Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Rosenquist I have realized the the Art-Pop movement is my favorite artist movement
