F-111 1965

"F-111" (1965) by James Rosenquist is a prime example of Pop Art, utilizing fragmented images from advertisements and popular culture to create a jarring and satirical commentary on American consumerism. This iconic work, now housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, juxtaposes seemingly disparate elements, such as the silhouette of an F-111 fighter jet, a child's face, and a McDonald's logo, to question the interconnectedness of war, consumerism, and innocence. The bold colors and fragmented composition are characteristic of Rosenquist's signature style, capturing the attention of viewers while challenging their perceptions of the world.
