James Rosenquist inspired
pop art paintings
The pop artist James Rosenquist is the inspiration for this painting project that explores color mixing and bold compositions.
Rosenquist began his art career as a billboard painter and used the large scale as a platform for his later paintings that capture the nuances of pop culture. The artwork should capture who you are by the objects you place in your painting. |
