Horse Blinders (West)

1972

This 1972 screenprint completes the directional series with its western perspective. The interplay of vivid colors and silver foil creates a dynamic surface that shifts with viewing angle. The horse blinders concept continues to explore themes of limited perspective and vision. Rosenquist's technical mastery is evident in the precise application of color and metallic elements. The work invites viewers to consider how direction and viewpoint shape perception.
