Thank you guys for your overview of the show (which is fantastic and a must see this year) you are always good to listen too and nice to see you included the lovely Dr. Roberta Bernstein who's knowledge on Johns is hard to beat.

Thanks Stuart for your contribution and for watching.

I love Jasper Johns. Especially his Flag Paintings had a great influence on the Superblur Art Movement. Great video again by the way.

I appreciate your eloquent discussions of these modern masters.

Numbers automatically evoke a value when we see them. 4 has twice the value of 2, 8 has twice the value of 4, and so on. By superimposing the numbers in "0 - 9", the numbers are stripped of their value. The viewer is then required to look at the numbers from a completely different aspect, which sets up a conflict between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Well done Mr. Johns!

This was for my homework

[@Tonnidas]

Hello. Can I get too see your homework on this artist. I am interested to know more about him, especially in gathered places like homework. I would be really pleased if you shared. Thank you in advance.

That's a show I'd have dearly loved to see in person! Thanks.

[@thewaythingsare8158]

Thank you that was really interesting . Im still kicking myself I missed this show

[@hippiedude7480]

i enjoyed the work shown in the video it makes you stop for a while and actually look at the work itself so you can try to pull meaning from it that is one of the reasons that i love abstract art

Rather surprised that you didn’t mention the content of the newspaper articles that compose the flag, the political pressure to be making “patriotic” “American” art, and his frustrations with the way appalling actions were being excused by nationalist elements in the political discussions of that time.

[@TheArtChannel1]

Thanks for your interesting post. It's a fair point but time is always limited. An artist such as Jasper Johns probably merits an hour but we aim to make short films suitable for the KZbin platform.

Hi, do you have any info about his current situation? Jasper Johns turned 90 years old on May 15, and I wondered if he is still healthy and working? :)

[@TheArtChannel1]

Hege, thank you contacting The Art Channel and pointing out that the artist is turning 90. We believe that Jasper Johns is still working but we are not party to any information regarding his health.

[@hegenordahl4680]

@@TheArtChannel1 Thank you for answering! Happy to learn that he is still working, hope to see his newest work in the galleries too

Whos here for art homework

[@michellekamhi8816]

For a very different view of the avant-gardists you praise, art lovers who have their doubts about such work might find of interest my recent book, Who Says That's Art? .
