Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features a central abstract shape against a dark background. The shape resembles either a vase or two human profiles facing each other. The interplay of negative and positive space creates this duality. A checkerboard pattern connects the silhouettes of the faces within the shape. Horizontal lines at the bottom suggest a sense of structure.
