Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 1st. 128 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. First paperback edition. *** "An enlightening new interpretation of one of today's most influential artists featuring over 100 illustrations. For more than thirty years Jasper Johns has been making art that teases viewers with the willful obscurity of its content, while offering rich visual pleasures with the beauty of its form, color, and surface. In 1955 he painted his first Flags, which, with the Target and Numbers that soon followed, were to become his most famous work. His transformation of such common place images into art helped to shatter the dominance of Abstract Expressionism and to make possible the later innovations of Pop art and Minimalism. Johns's acclaimed recent work, which is well represented in this book, combines his continuing fascination with ready-made images with an exciting new use of illusionistic painting." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Up to, and including, "According to what," 1954-1984"; Shunning statements, 1956-1772; Crosshatching and the history of art, 1972-1984; Artist's statements; Notes on technique.

"Because of a discrepance in the brightness of the paper, a group of proofs was withheld from the edition of Jasper Johns' lithograph Savarin (1977-81). Thinking to use these proofs as substructures for a series of monotypes, Johns began painting with colored inks on sheets of plexiglass. A lithograph, or, in some instances, blank paper was laid over the freshly painted surface, then covered with a felt blanket and run through a hand lithographic press. By modulating the applied pressure, it was often possible to transfer several slightly varying proofs from one painting." (preface).
