Jasper Johns- Painter / Printmaker

Jasper Johns was a key name in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. His subject matter is often banal, taking bold flat imagery such as flags, targets, numbers and lettering, depicted on embellished, painterly surfaces. He was friends with Robert Rauschenberg and similarities can be drawn between their surface treatment.

Here some examples of his work:
