	Jasper Johns: more than the slayer of Abstract Expressionist giants
		Johns has been the subject of only two major retrospectives: one at the Jewish Museum in 1964, a decade into his career, and the other at the Whitney in 1977.
		[Johns says the "flagstone" pattern derives from a painted wall in Harlem, and the "crosshatch" pattern was glimpsed on a painted car in Long Island; the latter is similar to the quilt in Edvard Munch’s Self-portrait Between the Clock and the Bed.
		Johns could not but have been aware of the joke on so-called "ballsy" painting, or painting that "had balls." But it isn’t clear that he set out to make a joke.

		Jasper Johns’ non-representational piece, Painting with Two Balls, 1960 is exactly that in the illustrative sense – a painting, appearing somewhat haphazard, that physically contains two balls.
		The intent of Johns’ color continues to become apparent by the tension of the competing overall dominance of red and blue, which are present in nearly equal amounts, and balances the tension of the two balls within the canvas.
		Jasper Johns in effect fits his initial intent to the picture by imposing these other extremes making use of his past experiences and knowledge to achieve a new end.

		Jasper Johns was born in 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, and raised in South Carolina.
		As Johns became well known—and perhaps as he realized his audience could be relied upon to study his new work—his subjects with a demonstrable prior existence expanded.
		Throughout his career, Johns has included in most of his art certain marks and shapes that clearly display their derivation from factual, unimagined things in the world, including handprints and footprints, casts of parts of the body, or stamps made from objects found in his studio, such as the rim of a tin can.

		Johns also frequently borrows images from other artists, which, ironically, only underscores the originality of his own vision.
		Although Johns has been hailed as the father of Pop art and Minimalism, the loosely gestural abstractions of 1959–60 and the moodier gray imagery of the fragmented human form in 1961–64 reflect the choice of a different path.

		Johns' paintings of targets, maps, invited both the wrath and praise of critics.

	Acquavella: Jasper Johns's Biography
		PRECURSER OF POP From the 1950’s into the 1960’s, Johns made paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints that presented commonplace, two-dimensional objects with absolute objectivity and precision so that the painting ceases to be a reproduction of the object but becomes the object itself.
		Johns’ works were a radical departure from the extreme emotionalism of the Abstract Expressionists and in their banality and rejection of emotional expression prepared the way for Pop Art.
		In the ‘crosshatch’ paintings of the 1970’s, Johns used pale colors applied in parallel brushstrokes and in the 1980’s he introduced figural elements in an autobiographical series of paintings and prints.

		"Johns and Cézanne both reconcile a free handling of often substantial paint, like Rembrandt's, with a use of severe, often geometric shapes, like Poussin's: it is not a common synthesis.
		But it is not certain that Johns learned a lot from Duchamp that he would not have learned from Cage, and they were very different characters despite their shared penchant for taking pleasure in arousing but not satisfying curiosity.
		These works by Johns may play games with the addition of real objects to a painted canvas, but their central preoccupation is the paint on the canvas, worked, layered, varied in texture, self-assertive.

		Johns seemed devoted to the flag, but his devotion was aesthetic, as was emphasized by the works' exquisite pelt of encaustic paint.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Jasper Johns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Credited as a founding father of Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual art, Jasper Johns was one of the first painters to use everyday objects and commonplace images in his art, thus paving the way for artists like Warhol and Oldenburg.
		As Johns' work evolved during the '60s and into the present, it became more Expressionist and collagelike, incorporating panels of color, abstract shapes and letter forms, and found objects.
		Because his signature symbol paintings stress the idea behind the work rather than his manipulation of materials, Johns is often identified as Neo-Dada and linked to the work of Duchamp.

	JASPER JOHNS by David Cohen
		With Jasper Johns, as with Samuel Beckett, everything means something, or two things, or nothing.
		Johns and his buddy Robert Rauschenberg shot to meteoric fame in the mid 1950s, when New York had had its fill of Abstract Expressionism, and modernist afficionados were ready for the next step.
		Because Johns can offer seemingly little else by way of aesthetic consolation, this sort of epistemological tease can sometimes constitute the main interest in his work.
