Description
Subject Matter:
This print is part of a portfolio made in collaboration with Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) and Moderna Museet as a fundraising effort for American artists. James Rosenquist is a pop artist who depicts "generic imagery" such as these nails and hair pins. Rosenquist makes a distinction between the items he portrays and Andy Warhol's iconic, branded imagery by saying "People can remember their childhood, but events from four or five years ago are in a never-never land. That was the imagery I was concerned with—things that were a little bit familiar but not things you feel nostalgic about."
Physical Description:
This colorful, minimalist print shows five nails on the left (four red and one purple), and five bobby pins on the right (two yellow, two red, and one purple). Nails and bobby pins are arranged as tally marks, four vertical and one crossing horizontally.
