James Gill was born in 1934 in Texas and was a protagonist in the “Pop Art” movement which hit the art world in the fifties and sixties. Pop art became an exciting new form of artistic expression. Of the many renowned pop artists of this movement, few remain alive. However, James Gill, a notable pop artist, has recently emerged from over 30 years of isolation.
Gill’s artwork differed from that of his contemporaries because his artwork reflects reflected “qualities of a contemporary consciousness as well as classical tradition” as opposed to popular cultural imagery.
Gill’s artwork is available for viewing in museums around the country such as the Museum of Modern Art or the Whitney in New York, as well as The Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC or the Art Institute of Chicago and more!
