Untitled [state proof of 11th state]

2001

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image features geometric shapes and lines, including vertical stripes, a swirling pattern, and an arc across the lower section. The composition combines these elements with photographic and illustrative components, such as a black and white family portrait and a section resembling stained-glass art with abstract figures and shapes. The vertical stripes on the left resemble a barred window or part of a flag, while the spiral pattern above suggests a galaxy. The family portrait has a historical connotation. On the right, a section resembling stained-glass art features abstract designs. At the bottom, simplistic stick figures interact with the arc.
