Jasper Johns

Jasper Johns is an influential American artist known for his innovative use of familiar objects and symbols, like flags, numbers, and targets, in his artwork. He often blurs the line between painting and sculpture, emphasizing the materiality of his pieces. Johns explores themes of perception, language, and identity, challenging how viewers interpret everyday images. His work played a key role in the development of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art movements, inspiring artists to rethink the possibilities of art by incorporating common, recognizable imagery into fine art contexts.
