1997

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features geometric and organic shapes outlined boldly, filled with parallel lines and dots creating a layered effect. This abstract composition could be interpreted as a map or fragmented earth forms. The central shape might suggest a landmass or cloud formation, with a dotted texture below resembling a starry sky or embellished ground. Diagonal stripes in darker tones may convey shadows or slopes.
