Jasper Johns is regarded as one of the most influential artists of
the 20th century, and has remained central to American art since
his arrival in New York in the 1950s. With his then partner Robert
Rauschenberg, Johns helped to establish a decisive new direction in
the art world, termed Neo-Dada at the time. Johns' striking use of
popular iconography, things the mind already knows, as he put it
(flags, numbers, maps), made the familiar unfamiliar--and made a
colossal impact in the art world, becoming a touchstone for Pop,
minimalist and conceptual art. This handsomely illustrated book,
now available in paperback, brings together Johns' paintings,
sculptures, prints and drawings. From his innovations in sculpture
to his use of collage in paintings, it gives focus to different
chapters of Johns' career and examines the international
significance of his work. Featuring contributions from a range of
experts, this volume explores the depth and breadth of Johns'
oeuvre, encompassing more than half a century. Jasper Johns (born
1930) made his major breakthrough as a painter in the mid-1950s
when he started using iconic, popular images in his paintings--an
explosive move at a moment when advanced painting was understood to
be exclusively abstract. Johns' midcentury paintings' lush,
painterly surfaces resemble those of abstract expressionism, but
Johns arrived at them through slow, labor-intensive processes and
mediums such as encaustic. Throughout his 60-year career Johns has
worked with many different mediums and techniques, using the
restlessness of his own process to explore the interplay of
materials, meaning and representation in art.
