After all, it's real footage, so it feels real. The excellent commentary also helped me a lot... rather than a video I made with photos.

Great artist! A great philosopher and a great master of his craft.

I love Jasper John's ideas. He kind of invented Joke Art 👍 I mean seriously, this stuff is miles better than Titian, Goya, Monet😂

I’M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE COMMENTS POSTED - AT FIRST GLANCE - I CALL THEM NEGATIVE - AT SECOND GLANCE - I REALIZE IF ONE IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOHNS AND HIS ID - THE DEPTHS FROM WHICH HE COMES - I TAKE EMPATHY WITH THESE FORKS - JASPER JOHNS - IS LOVED BY HIS PEERS - IN HIS FORMER DAYS HE WAS WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME - NOW HE IS OLD SCHOOL - AS AN ARTIST,JASPER, GROUNDED ME, AS HE DID A LOT OF US -

[@josephgaribaldi4340]

your constant intrusion into the frame only limited the experience of the works!

[@leststoner]

Something fishy is going on here.

There is an old story called THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHING if you can't see more than just splashing paint, then you are a non sophisticated doof like me.

THE ARTIST, ARTIST - I’VE NEVER SPOKEN TO AN ARTIST WHO DOES NOT LOVE THIS ARTIST - THERES NO WAY TO NAIL HIM DOWN, AT LEAST FOR ME - I LOVE THE COMENT HE MADE, (PARAPHRASING), IN A CONVERSATION WITH A GAL, A VIEWER OF HIS WORK, ASEkED WHERE HE WAS BORN AND RAISED AND HE MENTIONED HIS HOME TOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA - TO WHICH THE GAL REPLIED, ‘OH, YOU MUST COME FROM A FIND SOUTHERN FAMILY, (OR WORDS TO THAT EFFECT), TO WHICH HE REPLIED, “NO MAM JUST PORE WHITE TRASH” ANYWAY ITS MY UNDERSTANDING HE WAS OR IS THE HIGHEST PAID LIVING ARTIST ON THE GLOBE - never went to college, (accadamianammazoids) - THANK YOU FOR THIS RETROSPECT

Sir u r intersecting imaginary ideas. 👎

[@PhantomOfManyTopics]

Abstract art is something anyone can do. Why do we celebrate these people?

[@keithwilson13]

love i something anyone can do. why do we celebrate that?

[@johnjungkook2721]

If anyone can do it, why didn't you? Why didn't you or anyone else open an exhibition in the 60s and why aren't you famous?

[@leststoner]

To make investor happy.

[@ignaciodarnaude8462]

What a fabulous walk thru the show! I particularly love how the curator showcased the 4 paintings Johns did after his break up with Rauschenberg. It's about time that their relationship is openly acknowledged. The recent Rauschenberg retrospective at MOMA described them as friends and avoided mentioning the huge influence their relationship had on both of them

[@justinmcgonigle5587]

Where's False Start? Painting with two balls? Target with four faces? In Philli? You're keeping his best work from NYC by splitting it up....who's idea was this? Lame....

[@timothybenston9521]

Take the train to Philly.

[@justinmcgonigle5587]

Exactly...
