About James Rosenquist
1933-2017
James Rosenquist was a leading Pop artist from the United States. He was born in 1933 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and studied painting at the Minneapolis Art Institute and the University of Minnesota. He attended the same drawing class as Robert Indiana. Later he even taught at Yale University.
His early professional work as a painter of advertising posters influenced his monumental paintings and prints. Later he shifted from commercial art and pop culture to creating montage-like artworks that were often surrealistic and close to old painting techniques. When he moved to New York in the late 1950s, he met other artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns. They inspired him to work on more abstract themes.
His works are exhibited in the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Tate Gallery in London.
