Green Angel 2 [working proof]

1997

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features irregular shapes filled with diagonal and vertical stripes. The composition evokes a sense of varied textures. The contrast of greens, blues, yellows, and purples within the stripes create depth. Small, curved motifs on the corners resemble swirling winds or cursive embellishments.
