Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays an arrangement of lines and shapes in a grid-like composition. On the top left, vertical red and white stripes resemble a flag, with a thin blue line above. Adjacent is a swirling, galaxy-like shape against a dark background. Next to this is a sepia-toned group portrait of figures in vintage clothing. The far right panel shows diamond-shaped patterns with outlined figures. The central portion features a criss-crossed texture in brown, forming an abstract swath. The image combines celestial imagery, historical photography, and geometric abstraction.
