Hand-colored etchings // James Rosenquist’s Towel, Star, Sunglasses is a hand-colored etching that juxtaposes three distinct elements across the canvas. On the left, vibrant hand-drawn colors overlie a dense section of text, combining abstraction with a sense of narrative or data. The central motif is a series of concentric rings rendered in black, evoking a star's radiating energy or perhaps the rings of a distant planet. On the right, a delicate, almost ghostly outline of sunglasses fades into a smoky, brownish blur, suggesting both absence and presence. Rosenquist’s work blends pop art with abstract elements, challenging the viewer to decode the symbolic interplay of everyday objects.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
