Jasper Johns: Drawings

This volume reviews the career of American painter and printmaker Jasper Johns (b. 1930) via his works on paper and plastic, surveying some 30 objects spanning the years 1955-2001, charting his interests, techniques and aesthetic evolution. One of the leading proponents of the Pop Art movement, Johns culled his source material from popular culture with a preoccupation for the enigmatic character of everyday objects, language and numeric systems. In addition, selections of Johns' works coupled with entries that provide a physical description, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition, and publication history are included. It also lists a comprehensive list of exhibitions and bibliography.
