A giant of postwar art, Johns’ analytical and self-reflexive work contributed to the development of Pop art, Minimalism and Conceptual art. He is best known for depicting quotidian symbols in a variety of mediums, including oil, ink, pencil, collage and relief. Indeed, Johns’ oeuvre attests to his tireless experiments with representation and mark-making.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume traces the artist’s production across seven decades, highlighting key motifs realized through paintings, drawings and prints. From his iconic flag, target, number and map paintings of the 1950s; to his abstract crosshatch design and art historical citations of the ’70s and ’80s; to his complex, layered late works, which often build upon previous themes. Titled after a 1960 charcoal, pastel and collage drawing on paper, \u003ci\u003eNight Driver\u003c\/i\u003e guides readers through the artist’s recursive, yet ever-evolving corpus. The monograph opens with three illustrated essays on Johns—one of which is penned by Irish novelist Colm Tóibín—and concludes with a conversation between Johns and painter Terry Winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Modern Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50937904038074,"sku":"3748","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/9157\/4370\/files\/Bookbackground_12_59b7bd5e-835c-476d-b41b-cfa38a30e838.jpg?v=1794006458","url":"https:\/\/shop.themodern.org\/products\/jasper-johns-night-driver","provider":"The Modern Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
