Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The artwork shows a central symmetrical form resembling the outline of a vase, created by the negative space between two black silhouette profiles facing each other. The profiles resemble human faces with detailed features, such as noses and lips. The left profile is decorated with a geometric, net-like pattern. Below, a series of wavy lines mirror gentle waves or ripples on water. The image invites viewers to see a vase and human profiles simultaneously.
