Conversation 1/3 of a lunchtime talk series by Alicia Longwell on Jasper Johns
Thursday, June 23: Mr. Johns Regrets | Learn more→
Thursday, June 30: Stars & Stripes | Learn more→
In a series of three informal lunchtime talks in conjunction with the exhibition, An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960–2018, Alicia G. Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator will discuss Jasper Johns and three common themes explored by the artist throughout his career.
During the 1960s, Johns experimented with unusual tools for making marks on his canvases and drawings. They included his own body, which he used to make imprints—a more direct way of adding his “touch” to an artwork than traditional means such as brush or pencil. The unusual self-portrait Skin with O’Hara Poem is a literal impression of the artist, rather than a painted likeness.
