"Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist's involvement in an art movement that interests everyoneand, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country's visual culture, high, low, and in between." Robert Hughes, author of Things I Didn't Know and Goya Praise for James Rosenquist's Painting Below Zero "There is so much to enjoy in this book. There is Rosenquist's decency, integrity, and wonderful sense of humor. He knows how to tell a good story . . . He has been almost everywhere, knows just about everybody, and reveals his heart and his mind and how and why he paints. It is one of the best books ever written by an artist." -Milton Esterow, ARTnews "This highly entertaining memoir by the great pop artist, known for his billboard-influenced paintings, describes the rocky transition from abstract expressionism to pop art from the inside. But its strength comes from Rosenquist's big-hearted Midwestern storytelling." -Jed Lipinski, The Village Voice By sharing the extraordinary story of his life in this involving, richly illustrated autobiography, Rosenquist deepens our appreciation for his work and for creativity . . . He is as arresting in print as he is on canvas." -Donna Seaman, Booklist "Mr. Rosenquist's new memoir . . . is an unexpected treat-it's a ruddy and humble book, lighted from within by the author's plainspoken, blue-collar charm . . . He describes strange nights in Hollywood accompanying the actor Dennis Hopper, who 'prowled through the unlocked houses of aspiring actors and actresses' . . . and the Warhol star Ultra Violet cavorting topless on Mr. Rosenquist's front lawn in East Hampton one Sunday morning just as church was letting out . . . An inviting coming-of-age story, a self-portrait by an unusual kind of Pop artist and an unusual kind of man." -Dwight Garner, The New York Times From the Hardcover edition., "Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist's involvement in an art movement that interests everyoneand, more than that, of his own character.

Synopsis
From James Rosenquist, one of our most iconic pop artists--along with Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein--comes this candid and fascinating memoir. Unlike these artists, Rosenquist often works in three-dimensional forms, with highly dramatic shifts in scale and a far more complex palette, including grisaille and Day-Glo colors. A skilled traditional painter, he avoided the stencils and silk screens of Warhol and Lichtenstein. His vast canvases full of brilliant, surreally juxtaposed images would influence both many of his contemporaries and younger generations, as well as revolutionize twentieth-century painting. Ronsequist writes about growing up in a tight-knit community of Scandinavian farmers in North Dakota and Minnesota in the late 1930s and early 1940s; about his mother, who was not only an amateur painter but, along with his father, a passionate aviator; and about leaving that flat midwestern landscape in 1955 for New York, where he had won a scholarship to the Art Students League. George Grosz, Edwin Dickinson, and Robert Beverly Hale were among his teachers, but his early life was a struggle until he discovered sign painting. He describes days suspended on scaffolding high over Broadway, painting movie or theater billboards, and nights at the Cedar Tavern with Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and the poet LeRoi Jones. His first major studio, on Coenties Slip, was in the thick of the new art world. Among his neighbors were Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana, Agnes Martin, and Jack Youngerman, and his mentors Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Rosenquist writes about his shows with the dealers Richard Bellamy, Ileana Sonnabend, and Leo Castelli, and about colorful collectors like Robert and Ethel Scull. We learn about the 1971 car crash that left his wife and son in a coma and his own life and work in shambles, his lobbying--along with Rauschenberg--for artists' rights in Washington D.C., and how he got his work back on track. With his distinct voice, Roseqnuist writes about the ideas behind some of his major paintings, from the startling revelation that led to his first pop painting, Zone, to his masterpiece, F-III, a stunning critique of war and consumerism, to the cosmic reverie of Star Thief. This is James Rosenquist's story in his own words--captivating and unexpected, a unique look inside the contemporary art world in the company of one of its most important painters., From James Rosenquist, one of our most iconic pop artistsalong with Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtensteincomes this candid and fascinating memoir.
