Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays fragmented geometric shapes and fluid lines in an abstract arrangement. A handprint is prominent among jagged forms, along with the text "YELLOW" and "BLUE." Circular patterns and an arrow pointing downwards are also present, along with squiggly lines. The composition resembles disjointed, collage-like posters on city walls.
