AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
You're bidding on a lot with two books by Jasper Johns.
Jasper Johns is an iconic American artist who came to define the period between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. In Flag (1954–1955), perhaps his most famous work—a collage of paper, encaustic oil, and fabric—Johns makes a formal abstraction from the American stars and stripes while also muting its power. “I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life,” the artist mused. “The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.”
Johns' works are held in the collections of Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Tate Gallery,among others.
