Flag

At first, when I started doing research video on this painting, I thought it would be hard to talk about it. After all, it's just a flag. What more can be said? But Jasper Johns' artistic process is much more interesting than "just painting a flag". He painted a Flag to focus on the technical aspects of painting. It's genius!

I've been searching for good videos about Johns in addition to literature I already had, and I have to say, this is one of the most brilliantly put and well-made videos on the topic of this particular piece of his. Thank you so much, and well done.

Thank you so much Minny! It's sadly one of my least popular videos! Johns is such an interesting artist and character. He definitely deserves more recognition. Thank you for the comment and the encouragement!

Ok is it a painted flag or a painted flag blew my mind. I Don’t think it matters ultimately as both are art. I have to admit I’m not as a big fan of John’s as I should be. I guess I don’t understand the nuisances or cleverness of his work. Take the obvious comparison to Rauschenberg, there the ‘art’ is much more obvious.
