Jasper Johns (American, b. 1930)
Jasper Johns (b. 1930, Augusta, Georgia) is a pioneering American artist whose work helped shape modern and contemporary art. Raised in South Carolina, he moved to New York in 1948, where he studied briefly at Parsons and immersed himself in the city’s vibrant art scene. After serving in the Korean War, Johns returned to New York in 1953, where he connected with artists Robert Rauschenberg, choreographer Merce Cunningham, and composer John Cage. This network of influential figures played a key role in shaping his early career.
In 1958, Johns gained recognition when art dealer Leo Castelli offered him a solo exhibition, leading to his first major sale at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Known for his iconic use of symbols like flags, targets, and numbers, Johns challenged conventional boundaries between painting and sculpture, and his work bridged the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. With a career marked by exploration of identity, perception, and the role of the artist, Johns remains one of the most important figures in American art.
