Jasper Johns

Jasper Johns (born 1930) was one of the pioneers of pop art. He took common things that are often overlooked and forced the viewer to look at them. His subject matter included familiar objects such as maps, flags, numbers maps, targets, and other familiar objects. [MH] {NR}
He would draw these objects in such a way that he raises the questions that go beyond the boundaries of the movement. Eventually he got the viewers to consider what the difference between image and reality was. [RA] {HI}
