Jasper Johns Pop Art - all you need to know, the life and works of an American Icon


Jasper Johns took creating pop art from everyday images to another level, perhaps showing outstanding creativity in using maps, flags and other world iconic imagery and placing them in an artistic context.

Famed for his brushwork and painterly touch, the modern imagery hid a talented artist in the classical sense who chose Abstracr expressionism as is artistic form of choice.



Recently is famous American Flag sold for more than $28 million . The flags and images he created between 1954 and 1959 heralded the start of the pop art movement.




Good friends with all the major pop artists of the era, he quickly became one of the most famous and wealthiest living artists in the world.

Jasper Johns is said to dance along the pop art line between art and reality, with critics praising the way in which the relationship is deliciously blurred. However critics tend to point to the benal content of the art he produced being as uninteresting as the everyday object. Whatever you think, you can not ask for more iconic imagery than Jasper Johns.

In 1990 Johns was awarded the National Medal of Arts. He is represented by the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York City.

Iconic imagery, some of which is surprisingly little known, should be checked out below. Enjoy.
