Jasper Johns: Phaidon Focus
This richly illustrated survey spans the artist's prolific career from the early Flag and Target paintings which were central to establishing his reputation as a major young artist in the mid 1950s, and have since become icons of twentieth century art to the compelling compositions of the recent 'Catenary' series - works that testify to Johns's continuing artistic ambition at the start of the twenty first century. As Isabelle Wallace effectively demonstrates, in casting a critical eye on painting and the concept of representation more generally, Johns has consistently challenged ideas that have often been taken for granted, and in the process revitalized painting for an era that was quick to proclaim its obsolescence.
