Jasper Johns Prints
Born in Augusta, Georgia, Jasper Johns (1930 - ) was prominent in the American art scene of the 1950s. He studied at the University of South Carlina for only 3 semesters before moving to the Parsons School of Design. Jasper's most famous piece is 'Flag', a painting of the American flag that he painted after a dream.
His work is often defined as Neo-Dadaist, as apposed to pop art, despite his use of subjects from popular culture. Many pop art compilations and art critics include him in the pop art movement for his use of classical iconography.
