In creating “Flag,” Jasper Johns made an artwork that was ahead of its time using a primitive combination of furniture paint, newspaper collage and wax encaustic in his most famous artwork. A forerunner of the Minimalist movement, as well as the Conceptual and Pop Art movements, Johns’ bold depictions of popular icons forced an awareness of the painting as the object, itself. Realisticly depicting well known objects, Jasper Johns’ has created intaglio prints, lithographs and sculptures and is also known for reworking prior paintings.
Jasper Johns was an important 20th century artist instrumental in the development of Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and numerous other movements in Europe and the US. Through a series of flag and target images that outraged the art world, Johns transformed ordinary objects into fine art. Johns, who began his career in commercial art, challenged and altered the basic principles of painting, and has explored countless unconventional art forms. He often repeats the same subjects with different techniques to examine the relationship between an image and its medium.
