Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays irregular, interconnected shapes forming an abstract composition with overlapping lines and textures. It resembles a fragmented map or puzzle with sections that could be likened to land masses or cloud formations. Various sections contain diagonal and vertical stripes or hatching, adding depth. Circular shapes with dashed outlines in the corners resemble wheels or clock faces, suggesting mechanical or temporal elements. Scattered dots contribute to a sense of dynamic motion.
