Permanent Art Collection
James Rosenquist (1933 - )
Born in
Grand Forks, North Dakota and studied at Minneapolis Art Institute
and University of Minnesota. Trained as a billboard painter, he
took those skills of proportion and scale and juxtaposed them with a
love for surrealism and images from mass media and pop culture to
create his monolithic works of art.
Referencing
war, consumerism and mass production of goods, Rosenquist is
considered one of the key figures in the development of Pop Art.
