Green Angel 2 Experimental Lithos [trial proof]

1994

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays interconnected irregular shapes outlined with thin white lines on a turquoise background. The abstract artwork resembles a stylized map or puzzle, with shapes fitting together in an organic yet deliberate manner. Some shapes may resemble cloud formations, landmasses, or fragmented pieces. The textured background adds depth and a sense of movement, similar to water or sky viewed from a distance.
