内容説明
Although this monograph begins by probing modernism's surfaces and subjects, its public and private meanings, in order to establish Jasper Johns's importance as "the" modern allegorical artist in the years after abstract expressionism, it is not an essay that presumes to offer an instant interpretation. Rather, it constructs a Johns whose work is introduced and explained in three chapters, each of which addresses a specific picture or sculpture. These in-depth studies place individual works in their social context as well as in Johns's oeuvre, and the author's aim is to get to terms with - and find terms for - a difficult and elusive body of work by one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
Book Description
Fred Orton offers the clearest and most penetrating picture yet of the enigmatic American painter, Jasper Johns.
"Fred Orton writes on Jasper Johns with clarity as well as conviction. . . . If Orton engages you with the play of words and concepts, he is equally adept at drawing you close into Johns’ paintings. . . . With equal authority, Orton analyzes the critical distinction, as articulated by Johns himself, between the actual and the figured."—Richard Shiff, ArtForum
"A significant contribution to the large body of literature about one of the more provocative and enigmatic artists of the mid- and late-20th-century."—Michael J. Prokopow, Boston Book Review
Fred Orton is Senior Lecturer in History of Art, University of Leeds, U.K.
