James Rizzi (1950–2011) – Pop Art from Brooklyn
James Rizzi was a Brooklyn-born pop artist who gained worldwide fame for his brightly colored, often naive-looking cityscapes. He is considered the inventor of 3D print graphics, where images gain spatial depth through several superimposed layers. Rizzi died in New York in 2011; his work has been the subject of international traveling exhibitions ever since.
