Jasper Johns is one of the most influential American artists of the last 60 years. When he appeared on the New York art scene in the 1950s with paintings and sculptures that simulate familiar things - his famous flags and targets - he established a decisive new direction in an art world dominated by the Abstract Expressionists. One of a group of revolutionary artists that included Robert Rauschenberg, choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage, Johns made striking use of popular iconography, rendered with a distinctive textural, painterly surface. Over more than six decades, he has continued to offer us new ways of experiencing things we think we know and new glimpses of 'something resembling truth.'.
