“President Elect” is a notable artwork by James Rosenquist, created in 1964. It is a significant piece within the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art. The artwork features three primary elements juxtaposed together: a vividly rendered portrait of a smiling man, a hand holding a fragmented piece of cake, and the front end of a car. The rendition is marked by bold, bright colors, and a clear, illustrative style typical of the Pop Art movement. The combination of these disparate elements appears to explore themes of politics, consumerism, and American culture during the mid-20th century.
