Untitled [state proof of 8th state]

2001

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features strong geometric elements, including vertical stripes on the left, swirling circular lines in the center, and diagonal lines on the right side. Rectangular sections with textures and straight lines are present, similar to bars or fences. A vintage family portrait is incorporated in the upper right corner. The lower portion displays a smooth arc, dividing textured areas that suggest movement like waves or fabric folds. The composition merges structured elements with organic patterns, connecting to familiar objects such as spirals and woven fabrics within an abstract framework.
