Year Painted: 1978

In 1978, James Rosenquist bestowed the art world with a resplendent gem – “”Flash Life.”” This masterpiece seamlessly melds his iconic fragmented imagery with an exploration of the ephemeral nature of existence, urging viewers to contemplate the passage of time and their interaction with consumer culture.
