Original Lithograph in Colors on Wove Paper - Published by Gemini GEL and Jasper Johns - For the Whitney Museum of American Art 50th Anniversary // Jasper Johns' Double Flags is a limited edition lithograph produced between 1979 and 1980, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Whitney Museum of American Art. This work reflects Johns' signature focus on the American flag as a recurring theme in his career, presenting two flags stacked vertically. The vibrant red, white, and blue colors are rendered with a graphic precision that captures both familiarity and abstraction, blurring the line between representation and symbolism. The lithograph’s layered texture and meticulous attention to detail evoke movement, making the flags appear as though they are shifting in the breeze, contributing to the dynamic energy of the composition.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
