"description": "In Gift Wrapped Doll #3, James Rosenquist paints a doll\u2019s face distorted by iridescent cellophane wrapping. The doll stares blankly at the viewer, waves of plastic splitting its large eyes and round cheeks. Up close, the painting dissolves into vibrant fields of color and light. As seen here, Rosenquist\u2019s work often explores American consumer culture and commodification through the abstraction of everyday objects.",
