“Painting by James Rosenquist: Females and Flowers, 1984 (Oil on canvas)” / Richard Gray Gallery / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13865

Born in 1933 in a family of Swedish and Norwegian descent in North Dakota, American artist James Rosenquist grew up as the only child. His parents were amateur pilots and they moved from town to town looking for work before eventually settling in Minneapolis.

 

In this early years, he earned his living as a billboard painter. Such training would eventually allow the artist to flourish in the pop art scene by applying sign-painting techniques to the large-scale paintings he began creating in 1960.

 

Although he is well considered by critics to be a protagonist of the pop art movement, his work emerged separately from other pop art icons such as Warhol and Lichtenstein. He is especially known for combining fragmented images in abstract and provocative ways.
