Untitled (White Mezzotint) [trial proof]

1995

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays a rectangular canvas with a series of geometric and curvilinear shapes and lines forming an abstract design. In the center is a square with two circular forms resembling eyes above curved lines. Surrounding this central motif are additional abstract elements including spirals, jagged lines, and wave-like forms. Below the central abstraction, the word "BRUXOBETTELHEIM" is displayed with two intersecting circles beneath it. The overall layout creates a visual that could evoke tribal art or a modern emblem.
