Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image includes bold shapes and fluid lines. A black rectangular form is in the lower portion. An abstract design fills a square at the upper left, featuring swirling lines converging into a central point. To the right, a tall vertical panel contains crisscrossing lines forming diamond shapes, bordered with a texture resembling wood grain. A sweeping arc across the rectangle creates a sense of movement.
