Description

Silhouetted by the night sky, a brimmed hat perches on its stand, hovering above red-speckled ground like an aircraft. The moon shines bright white, and subtle clouds gather at the horizon. The artist's name is emblazoned in yellow and outlined in bright red. Poster reads "Rosenquist Complete Litographs 1965 - 1972 Galleria del Milione Milano via Bigli 21 7 novembre - 7 dicembre" Reproduced from Rosenquist’s 1970 lithograph Delivery Hat.

The Artist

James Rosenquist

Born in 1933, American James Rosenquist was one of the instigators of the Pop Art movement. The movement represents the integration of popular culture into fine art, and as such, Rosenquist’s previous occupation as a billboard painter helped influence his art in this direction. The characteristics of Pop Art – bright colours, dynamic shapes and the use of recognisable slogans and images – are clearly represented in Rosenquist’s work. His painting ‘F-111’ is made up of many images centred around a plane and is the size of a room.
