"History is remembered by its art, not its war machines."
-James Rosenquist
Seemingly incongruous bits of imagery-a diver plunging underwater, a mass of spaghetti, an umbrella over a nuclear mushroom cloud, and a magazine illustration of a girl having her hair done-pass through the stainless steel fuselage and pointed nose of James Rosenquist's most ambitious print F-111. In the eponymous painting of 1964-65, upon which this print is based, Rosenquist protested the Vietnam War and questioned the collusion between the war, income taxes, consumerism and advertising. Now decades later, these colliding visual motifs, filtered through multi-media, still flicker in today's consciousness.
