Supported by the artist's words and previous scholarship, \u003cem\u003eJasper Johns\u003c\/em\u003e is the first comprehensive study of his later paintings and works on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiona Donovan helps contextualize images that have personal significance for Johns and explain a broader humanist discourse. Readers learn of his absorption with the appropriation and abstraction of images taken from C zanne, Gr newald, Picasso, and others, and discover the inspiration Johns finds in his immediate surroundings. Progressing through several key phases and turning points in the artist's career, Donovan brings to light not only this subtext of inspirations and influences but also Johns' circle of contemporaries, collaborators, and personal perceptions and obsessions. Johns' compelling and enduring curiosity is omnipresent and reflected in his stylistic changes, but the shifting themes, motifs, and moods of his work are all underpinned by his exceptional skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis publication offers a rare occasion to view and further understand a compellingly beautiful but elusive oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Donovan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500239711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500239711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.40h x 9.60w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017","brand":"Fiona Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431305564415,"sku":"9780500239711","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b6f633e-2a40-44f0-82d7-e6bc10210a90.jpg?v=1735140930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jasper-johns-fiona-donovan-9780500239711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
