Jasper Johns is one of the most accomplished, and similarly debated artists of the 20th century. Adhering to a strict set of motifs for a career that has spanned over 50 years, Johns combines texture, color, and line to create compositions that are inspired by known images, the most famous of which being flags, maps, and numbers. Johns worked in an era before Pop Art, but after Abstract Expressionism (we generally refer to this movement as Neo-Dada). Looking at his various works shown to the right, I would like you to compare and contrast Johns' work to that of Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock and De Stijl front man Piet Mondrian in the comments section below. Are there any similarities? How are they different? Please use proper grammar, vocabulary, and full sentences. A good response to this kind of comparison should be no less than two paragraphs. You will also need to respond to one of your classmates' posts to recieve full credit. | |
