Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image contains an abstract composition with a central rectangular frame featuring abstract facial features such as eye shapes and circular forms resembling cheeks. Elongated, curved lines suggest a smile within the abstract context. Two sun-like designs with radiating lines are in the top corners. Below the central frame are a winding, wave-like line above the word "BRUNOBETTELHEIM," and a triangular shape beside it. The arrangement resembles a whimsical and abstract portrait.
