Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows a series of concentric circles and rectangles outlined in a textured, crosshatched pattern. The arrangement of shapes appears like ripples expanding from a central point. Above the circular pattern, a row of rectangular shapes complete the composition. The overall appearance combines natural phenomena and architectural elements in an abstract representation.
