| book description |

Arguably the most important living artist in America, Jasper Johns (b. 1930) has been a leading advocate of drawing as an artistic genre in its own right, not just a preparatory medium for other works. This catalogue brings together 41 of Johnsâ€™s drawings, spanning more than 60 years of his illustrious career and, beginning in 1954, the origin of his mature practice. It encompasses his most famous recurring motifs, including flags, targets, and numbers, and an essay by David Breslin contextualizes this reiterative aspect of Johnsâ€™s career. Exquisite reproductions and large-scale details reveal the touch and process of this master draftsman, imparting to the reader a feeling of being in close contact with the artist himself. As this intimate book shows, Johnsâ€™s art, at once simple and enigmatic, is above all a meditation on the world around him, a constant investigation of what he calls â€œthe condition of being here.â€ Distributed for The Menil Collection Exhibition Schedule: The Menil Collection, Houston (11/03/18â€“01/27/19)
