Billy Al Bengston: The Pop Artist as master of watercolor painting Billy Al Bengston is a master of the watercolor. He has a perfect command of all the many facets of the subtle yet demanding medium which constitutes a signifi cant proportion of his oeuvre. Many of his best works are painted with watercolors - delicate, subtle, and with their radiant colors permeated by the lightness of the Californian lifestyle. Themes and motifs that also determine the painterly work gain a special expressiveness here: bizarre landscapes and opulent blossoms, fantastic celestial bodies and colorful abstractions. This opulent volume presents this part of Bengston's oeuvre for the fi rst time in great breadth with roughly 400 of the altogether nearly 3,000 works. They demonstrate the skill of an artist who has brought watercolor to extreme precision and, in combination with collage, gouache, and mixed media, has enriched it with numerous new aspects.
