The Heckscher Museum of Art Presents James Rosenquist: Tripartite Prints, Opening August 15 2015

http://www.heckscher.org/

In the 1970s, James Rosenquist created a series of large lithographs that are characterized by their horizontal, tripartite compositions.  Constructed of fragmented and juxtaposed images depicting various brightly colored icons, including tire tracks, stairs, nails, stars, orbits, and the American flag, these prints reference many of Rosenquist's persistent themes—communication, space exploration, his 1971 car crash —conveying complex messages about our culture, science and technology, and the artist’s social and political concerns.
