Jasper Johns
(1930 – )
Modern contemporary American painter, sculptor and printmaker Jasper Johns is known as a minimalist pop artist whose works stormed the art world. Most notable are his “American Flag”, “Targets” and “Numbers” prints, as well as artwork created in bronze, plastic, aluminum and paint.
John’s serial repetition of common objects portrayed in his artwork showcases his belief in the blurring of art and life. Jasper John’s paintings often include actual objects such as light bulbs and paintbrushes inserted into his work.
