In Music School, Rosenquist employs tripartite imagery taking this compositional format through its paces by combining and reshuffling certain images. This lithograph is made up of two joined sheets, with stylized rain on a car roof above and the wings of a bird stretched beyond a square on white below.

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.
