James Rosenquist
Grand Forks, North Dakota 1933 - New York 2017
His paintings stuck me with their harmonious compositions of fragments of images that joined together coherently. The forms, reduced to their essential elements, transformed the everyday into the universal, the temporary into the permanent, and the materiality into an idea.
