Jasper Johns Recent Paintings & Works on Paper at MATTHEW MARKS GALLERY

James Kalm has been a fan of Jasper Johns since the mid 1960s, and has reported on his exhibitions through his TH-cam channels since 2008 (the links will be posted below). This artist, perhaps more than any other surviving New York painter, is emblematic of the aesthetic shift that took place in the mid 1950s and opened up a whole range of conceptual potentialities that have changed the course of art history.
Along with Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns prefigured Pop Art, and lead generations of artists to think deeper with regard to images, ideology, and how we perceive the world.
With “Recent Paintings & Drawings” we view the latest presentation of work by this American master. Working is various media like oil, encaustic, and acrylic painting, pen and ink, and water color drawing, etching, monotype, and linoleum cuts, the artist reinterprets and extrapolates themes he’s developed over his sixty year career. This program was recorded February 9, 2019. A musical introduction is provided by Von Middleton.
