Description
Jasper Johns: A Revised and Updated Introduction to the Art of Jasper Johns. American artist Jasper Johns was born in 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, and grew up in Allendale, South Carolina. He moved to New York City in 1949, where he remained for much of his life. Johns' artistic career spans over six decades, during which he has become one of the U.S.A.'s premier artists. Johns' paintings are characterized by their intuitive and instinctive approach, with the artist becoming fully absorbed in the surfaces of his works. His style is deeply personal and introspective, as evident in his famous works such as White Flag and False Start. These pieces not only showcase Johns' technical skill but also reveal his unique perspective on art and its relationship to the world. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Jasper Johns' life and work, exploring the key themes and motifs that have defined his artistic career.
