- Title
JASPER JOHNS: 'MEANING WHAT YOU SEE'.
- Authors
Harrison, Charles; Orton, Fred
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's opinion on the paintings of Jasper Johns of Great Britain. The authors opine that a series of pictures which Johns painted, like Corpse and Mirror of 1974 , The Barber's Tree, The Dutch Wives and others are all primarily composed of cross-hatchings, a motif which according to John was derived from a paint-job on a car which once passed by him. The authors feel that John was the first person to use this technique of cross-hatching. The authors, through his paintings are searching of those social, cultural and psychological substructures which are among the real conditions and locations of production of Johns' work.
