The complexity of Rosenquist’s iconography lies in his constant reordering of elements to yield wholly different visual results each time — like combining notes on a musical scale. For Water Spout, the artist draws upon his pop art background to produce a vibrant 11-color lithograph from two stones and eight aluminum plates.

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.
