The Seasons (Fall) [state proof of 6th state]

1987

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows an array of angular shapes and textured lines in an abstract composition. It includes familiar objects such as wooden planks, a circular basin, and silhouetted figures on either side. In the center, there is a panel with the phrase "CHUTE DE GLACE" and what appear to be mechanical or wooden fragments. The interconnected elements and varying textural quality give the impression of a jigsaw puzzle with objects like star-shaped pieces or intertwined wires.
