James Rosenquist (1933-2017)

I thought, how can I do a new kind of picture? I thought, If I can take a fragment of something realistic, and put the fragment in space at a certain size, I could make a painting where people would recognize something at a certain rate of speed. The largest fragment would be the closest, and the hardest to recognize. Therefore, I could make a mysterious painting.”
