About The Artist
Jasper Johns (born May 15, 1930) is an American artist renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to Pop Art and Neo-Dada. Born in Augusta, Georgia, Johns rose to prominence in the 1950s with his iconic depictions of everyday objects, such as the American flag, targets, and numbers. His paintings, like "Flag" (1954–1955) and "Target with Four Faces" (1955), challenged traditional notions of art and representation, blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration. Johns' innovative use of familiar symbols and his exploration of texture and materials, including encaustic and collage, revolutionized contemporary art. His influence extended beyond Pop Art, impacting later movements like Minimalism and Conceptual Art. Jasper Johns remains a seminal figure in the American art world, renowned for his conceptual depth and visual inventiveness.
