Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows a mix of jagged and smooth lines forming irregular shapes that interconnect across the surface. The abstract composition resembles puzzle pieces or interconnected land masses against a textured background. The varying shades of gray and white suggest similarities to a topographical map or drifting clouds.
