Synopsis
Raised in the Midwest, James Rosenquist (born 1933) worked as a billboard painter before rising to fame in the 1960s as a leading figure of the Pop art movement alongside contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Claes Oldenburg. Drawing on his experience as a billboard painter, Rosenquist's work plays on the iconography and style of advertising and mass media to create distinctive compositions that explore the culture of capitalism. James Rosenquist: Four Decades, published to accompany an exhibition at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, offers a selective survey of the artist's work since the 1970s, touching on themes as multifaceted as aesthetics, geopolitics, technology, ecology, outer space and time travel. A selection of the artist's rarely seen collages of source material is also included in this volume, offering a glimpse into the thought process behind Rosenquist's meticulously finished paintings.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2010. 1 volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée . Format oblong in-4°( 30,8 x 24,5 cm ) ( 1180 gr ). ------- 143 pages. ************************ Paris 2010. Hardback & Dust Jacket . ***************************** James Rosenquist was born in 1933 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He had his first contact with art during his teenage years when he took art classes at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and learned to paint with Cameron Booth from 1952 to 1954 at the University of Minnesota. In 1955 he went to New York to study art at the Art Students League with renown teachers such as German Dadaist George Grosz and Edwin Dickinson. After one year, he decided to quit and returned to painting billboards like in his early years. In the 1960s, Rosenquist began to add to his large-scale paintings images from the commercial world, advertising and pop references to draw a portrait of modern life, consumerism and sexuality. In fact, he is considered as one of the fathers of the Pop Art movement along with Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein. In the 1970s, he went from pure aesthetics to geo-political, existentialist and environmental themes. Today, Rosenquist work is represented in public and private collections worldwide, in the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the Tate Modern in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art for example. The Guggenheim Museum organized in 2003 one of the most important retrospective exhibition on the artist which travelled around the world. "" ************************** ref 175.
