Museum of Modern Art, gift of Philip Johnson in honor of Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Jasper Johns Featured in: Jasper Johns was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1930 but he grew up in South Carolina. He moved to New York City after studying at the University of South Carolina. He began his career at age 24 when he created his first of many flag paintings. His rendering of the American flag startled an art world that was still largely preoccupied with abstraction. The work was exhibited in a 1957 group show at the Leo Castelli Gallery. Alfred Barr of the Museum of Modern Art wanted to purchase the work but worried that it might be seen as unpatriotic by his board, so he arranged for someone else to buy it and later donate it to the museum. ambiguity intrigued many and led art critic Robert Rosenblum to ask, "Is it blasphemous or respectful, simple-minded or recondite?"

Jasper Johns: New Paintings and Works on Paper on view: September 16, 1999 - January 4, 2000 Jasper Johns: New Paintings and Works on Paper features new artwork by Jasper Johns, one of the most influential artists of the last fifty years, introducing the first substantial body of work that the artist has created since 1997. The exhibition is organized by Gary Garrels, SFMOMA Elise S. Haas Chief Curator and curator of painting and sculpture. Photo of Jasper Johns The closely related suite of new work includes seven paintings, two drawings, one unique hand colored print and three other new prints. The larger paintings in the series are notable for spare, open fields of graynot seen in Johns' work since the early 1960sthat evoke impressions of landscape, of sea and sky when light has been drowned by dense fog or rain. Allusions to figures, a Harlequin or pictogram of a Chinese costume, appear in these works for the first time. Inset images of a galaxy and the Big Dipper constellation pose questions of orientation and location. Gary Garrels, curator of the exhibition, states that "these works are closely related in subject and formal treatment, and it seems clear, even at this time so near to their completion, that they will mark one of the turning points that have characterized Johns' work throughout his career."

He began drawing as a young child, and from the age of five knew he wanted to be an artist. For three semesters he attended the University of South Carolina at Columbia, where his art teachers urged him to move to New York, which he did in late 1948. There he saw numerous exhibitions and attended the Parsons School of Design for a semester. After serving two years in the army during the Korean War, stationed in South Carolina and Sendai, Japan, he returned to New York in 1953. He soon became friends with the artist Robert Rauschenberg (born 1925), also a Southerner, and with the composer John Cage and the choreographer Merce Cunningham.

His richly worked paintings of maps, flags, and targets led the artistic community away from Abstract Expressionism toward a new emphasis on the concrete. Johns laid the groundwork for both Pop Art and Minimalism. Today, as his prints and paintings set record prices at auction, the meanings of his paintings, his imagery, and his changing style continue to be subjects of controversy. Born and raised in Allendale, South Carolina, Jasper Johns grew up wanting to be an artist. "In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant," recounts Johns. "I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different from the one that I was in." He studied briefly at the University of South Carolina before moving to New York in the early fifties. In New York, Johns met a number of other artists including the composer

Shop You are here: Home Exhibitions Jasper Johns Current Exhibitions Future Exhibitions Past Exhibitions Family Exhibitions Jasper Johns: Gray Regenstein Hall and Galleries 261-273 Overview: As one of the most acclaimed and influential living artists, Jasper Johns has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, many of which have explored his signature use of flags, numbers, and other emblems. This exhibition emerges from broader studies of Johns’s approach to form, examining for the first time the artist’s use of gray in his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings from 1955 to the present. Featuring more than 130 works, the exhibition tracks Johns’s application of gray for more than five decades—an investigation that provides a framework for understanding the development of the artist’s entire oeuvre. Jasper Johns. Target Every one of Johns’s major iconic, serialized forms has been, at one stage or another, articulated in gray. The intellectual and emotional significance of this color in his work has changed remarkably since 1955, when he used it initially as a statement of skepticism, quietude, or anticipation. Gray has since evolved in Johns’s work as an agent in a profound examination of the very meaning of color itself. The predominance of gray in his recent Catenary series, which self-consciously summarizes the artist’s career, takes on new meaning in the context of this exhibition’s thesis.

The life's work of an artist who has had a profound influence on American art was featured in this, the first full retrospective of Jasper Johns's work since 1977. Included in this comprehensive chronological survey were more than 225 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures. These works, many from private collections including Johns's own, span more than forty years; a number of the recent images had never before been shown publicly. Johns's art unites mastery, mystery, simplicity, and contradiction. His methodical working process combines intense deliberation and experimentation, obsessive craft, cycles of revision and repetition, and decisive shifts of direction. Johns also frequently borrows images from other artists, which, ironically, only underscores the originality of his own vision. Johns's work with allover patterns of abstract "hatch-mark" strokes in the 1970s was represented with seldom-seen masterworks such as Scent Weeping Women (1975). His shift to realist figuration after 1980, and his concern with the work of other artists and with autobiography, was chronicled through individual paintings, pairs, and groups of works. The four reunited Seasons The exhibition was sponsored by Philip Morris Companies Inc.
