Uit de crosshatch-periode van #JasperJohns (1930).
Hij brak in de jaren ’50 door met schilderijen van alledaagse symbolen (bijv. de Amerikaanse vlag). Niet als statement, maar omdat het beelden zijn die al in je hoofd bestaan. Hij wilde kunst maken die 'de geest bezighoudt zonder hem te dwingen'.

Jasper Johns ~ Winter
(from The Four Seasons series, 1986)
#JasperJohns #PopArt #AbstractArt #Winter
One of my favourite artists. I wrote about elements of his work in my Degree thesis, way back in 1980/1.
Also a legend of American art (at 96), and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient.

my favorite part so far of Gagosian doing a survey of Jasper Johns crosshatch paintings as a 50-yr commemoration of their debut at Castelli, as the last show (frfr?) at 980 Madison, which opened with Johns maps, is the hashtag just chillin' at the bottom of the press release: #JasperJohns
So far this month, we have looked at Pop Art that broke boundaries by using mass media images of consumer products and celebrities as a means of raising the mundane to high art. Johns took the common flag image and endowed it with new meaning as an art object. He painted “Three Flags” on three separate canvases, then stacked them with the smallest canvas on top so that it is closest to the viewer. He used one of his favorite techniques, encaustic, which is a mixture of pigment in warm wax (he kept the mixture on a hot plate while creating the painting). The encaustic gives the canvas a textural quality, and a softness of hue, in which every brushstroke becomes visible. Johns was fond of repeated motifs – flags, targets, numbers, to name just a few – which can read as obsession when all of the paintings are together in one location. Johns’ flag becomes more than a symbol (although it does not lose its patriotic symbology); we now also see its geometry and design elements as part of a work of art. These flags have 48 stars because the states of Alaska and Hawaii were not yet part of the United States in 1958.
JASPER JOHNS (born 1930), “Three Flags”, 1958. Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City US.
Johns painted his first American flag painting in 1954; it was to become one of his most enduring motifs.

Happy thanksgiving to all my American cousins. Here's some quintessentially American art to celebrate, from previous gallery visits.
Stay safe out there people.
