Lithograph in colors, on wove paper, signed in pencil // 'Ventriloquist' by Jasper Johns, created in 1985, is a lithograph that demonstrates the artist’s fascination with layered imagery and symbols. Measuring 106.7 x 71.1 cm, the composition features a textured background resembling vertical wooden slats, interspersed with familiar objects such as a metal pail, a cup, and a saw, rendered in rich, painterly strokes. Framed by American flag motifs on either side, the work evokes themes of identity, memory, and the juxtaposition of ordinary objects with cultural symbolism. Johns’ meticulous layering and incorporation of tactile textures invite viewers to explore the connections between abstraction and representation.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
