Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows a combination of black and white shapes creating an abstract visual effect. The central figure resembles the silhouette of a vase. The negative spaces on either side form the profiles of two faces in profile facing each other. The left face is adorned with a crisscrossed, checkered pattern. The play on these shapes draws attention to their dual interpretations as a vase and two opposing profiles.
