Jasper Johns is widely considered the foremost living Northward American artist.
A large retrospective planned for his 90th birthday by the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Fine art was delayed by Covid-19 and has just closed.
The works below were on brandish in 2021 and 2022 at one museum or the other.
*****************
Johns uses several materials;
A master print maker, he has worked with oil, acrylic, encaustic and ink on canvas, newspaper, and plastic.
He uses collage of fabric and newspaper; and incorporates manufactured objects in his work.
Carved wood appears in his work; bandage wax and cast metal.
Among the creative person's motifs are:
flags, targets, maps, numbers, cross-hatching; stick figures; skeletal figures; a jug whose handles class the outlines of the profiles of Queen Elizabeth Two and her husband;
a ladder; coloured dots or blocks similar the colour guide on the border of a sample of printed textile;
5 Postcards, 2011; either encaustic on canvas or oil on canvas or oil and graphite on canvas.

Watchman, 1964, oil on canvas with objects.
Loaned by The Broad, Los Angeles to a 2021/22 retrospective of the work of Jasper Johns, American born 1930
Curatorial comment was that this was painted while the artist was visiting Nihon. His sketchbooks note the difference between the watchman – e'er looking – and the spy whose goal is to be disregarded and to learn how to remember what he saw.
The Broad's take is that this painting speaks to the essential Johns:
"Overall, Watchman is a painting that is trying to be more than a painting; it is caught in the very moment when the globe of thought and representation (of symbols and signs) is transitioning into the globe of action and physical expression."
Motifs also include circular disks sometimes with 1 of the two hands of a clock.

A swain, sometimes a boy, appears in many of Johns' works.
The creative person rarely discusses his work.
A close student of Paul Cézanne, the Cubists and of Marcel Duchamp, Johns denies that his motifs have any intrinsic meaning. His interest has been to question what it is that defines a work of art.
Jasper Johns has executed a number of works in washes of gray which some have interpreted every bit washes of grief
The importance of his piece of work and that of his sometime shut coll aborator, Robert Rauschenberg, is to have expanded the means, motifs, and intent of creative expression.
Jasper Johns expanded the field of play by exploring the working of his listen.
The source of Robert Rauschenberg's expansion remained ever the diverse globe.
Rau schenberg said: "I think a painting is more like the existent world if it is made out of the existent world."
Therein a difference which tends to altitude some of the states from the work of Jasper Johns' every bit it tends to endear the piece of work of Robert Rauschenberg to the states.
Johns asks us to follow him into his mind and to trust that what interests him about the mechanics of perception and sense-making makes sense to u.s.a. and is important to u.s.a..
Rauschenberg multiplied his creative interactions with the world in which he sought a humane, positive office for artists.

Curatorial comment on this large piece of work is that information technology is
"…filled with subtle references, puns, and propositions virtually the human relationship of a piece of work's to the earth. Varied and contradictory modes of language and art-making abut one some other, such as printing, found and bandage objects, and abstract brushwork….
"The process of perceiving, interpreting and differentiating these systems and elements is, in part, the meaning of the piece of work…"

In 2018, the FBI returned to Johns work which had been stolen from his studio over many years by a long-time assistant. One of them was continued to The Seasons, completed in the mid-1980's.
Johns inserted a skeleton originally traced from his ain shadow. He continued afterwards that to stand for skeletons.

Caternary (I Telephone call to the Grave), encaustic on canvas with wood and string, 1998
Jasper Johns, American born 1930, Philadelphia Art Museum
This is i of the artist'southward Caternary paintings. The name comes from the curve of the string which hangs from two fixed points.
The title comes from the book of Chore. Job, facing intense suffering, says: I call to the grave.
These words are stencilled at the bottom of the painting along with the artist's signature.
During the Covid-xix pandemic, Johns linked a drawing of a cross-department of a knee after one made by a student, Jean Marc Togodgue, which he sa w at his orthopedist'south office with a representation he made of a map of nearby galaxies – a 'piece of the Universe' .
This relates to a map sent to him past the astrophysicist, Margaret Geller, who admires the artist's work.
Johns uses a knot pattern plant in Leonardo da Vinci's work to draw the elements of this image together.

This image, created when the artist was 90, is the just one which I saw in the 500 works in this retrospective
which implies that our minds are not the sole arbiters of our lives.
