James Rizzi ~ Pop Art Buildings

James Rizzi is a American Pop Artist, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His neighborhood of tall buildings, busy streets, taxi cabs etc, can be seen in many of his colorful paintings.  The fun, happy buildings with bright, bold colors and sharp black outlines are a favorite with my students.
