Edition of 70 - Lithograph, on J. Whatman paper, with full margins - In mint condition // Jasper Johns' Ventriloquist, created in 1990, is a lithograph featuring his characteristic use of everyday objects and symbols arranged in a grid-like composition. In this piece, various tools and objects—such as pots, a serrated blade, and cylindrical containers—are depicted in bold, gestural lines against a textured background, reminiscent of wood grain. This central composition is bordered by a pattern of stars and stripes, invoking elements of American iconography while retaining an ambiguous, layered meaning. Part of an edition of 70, this print on J. Whatman paper exemplifies Johns' interest in exploring symbols and everyday items through an abstract, almost surreal lens, encouraging viewers to contemplate the relationship between familiar forms and personal interpretation.

What is Gestural?
Artwork by Joan Mitchell

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
