Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features an intricate composition of lines and shapes weaving together, with a prominent circular form positioned near the center. The abstract artwork is filled with patterns and textures, giving rise to silhouettes resembling human figures flanking the center. Above, the patterns interlace, evoking a night sky filled with stars or a network of interconnected paths, leading the eye throughout the design. At the base, the shapes blend into a rocky or earthen landscape, grounding the composition.
