Jasper Johns: In Press: The Crosshatch Works and the Logic of Print
- Used Book in Good Condition
Centering on â€œThe Dutch Wivesâ€ (1975), a double-panel encaustic-and-newsprint painting in the artistâ€™s signature â€œcrosshatchâ€ motif, this catalogue explores the impact of print on the work of Jasper Johns (born 1930). The two panels of â€œThe Dutch Wivesâ€ are imperfect duplicates of each other--a reminder that the process of the mechanical reproduction of words and images is never quite perfect. The book examines the concepts of â€œprintâ€ and â€œthe pressâ€ in terms not only of printmaking and Johnsâ€™ celebrated experiments in that medium, but also in informational terms, tracing his frequent use of newsprint and its material, temporal, political, and formal implications. The publication also features prints and drawings by Johns that help demonstrate the aspects of printmaking that inform his entire oeuvre: repetition, reversal, indexicality, layering, sequencing and topology.
