Lithograph and screenprint in colors with silver foil on wove paper

Horse Blinders (South) by James Rosenquist is a dynamic and abstract composition that combines lithography and screen-printing techniques with vibrant colors and silver foil. The artwork is divided into multiple sections, each with its own distinct visual element, creating a fragmented yet cohesive piece. The left section features a rounded, almost organic form in gradient tones, while the central portion displays a bordered, soft-colored rectangle, and the right segment showcases sharp, linear metallic surfaces with geometric details. The use of silver foil adds a reflective quality that enhances the interplay between light and surface. Rosenquist’s work often blends abstraction with imagery that hints at consumerism, technology, and modernity, and Horse Blinders (South) exemplifies this mix of bold, modernist aesthetics.
