Για τον πίνακα

In the encaustic technique, pigment is suspended in wax that is heated and used as paint, and dries quickly once it is applied to the canvas. The gesture of the artist’s hand and the strokes and drips of the brushwork are thus readily apparent. Johns also applied a piece of extra canvas to this work, folding it into the surface to create a three-part composition. The title suggests that the painting really only has meaning in the mind of the spectator, who “reconstructs” the work according to the basic vocabulary of marks and materials that the artist presents.

Όλη η ζωή

1957
A studio at Coenties Slip among fellow artists
In 1957 Johns lived in former shipping lofts on Lower Manhattan's waterfront around Coenties Slip that had been taken over by artists, alongside Rauschenberg, Robert Indiana and Ellsworth Kelly; the community also housed Agnes Martin for a time.
1957
Leo Castelli discovers Johns
In March 1957, while visiting Rauschenberg's studio, the dealer Leo Castelli asked to see Johns's art: on the floor below he found “a fantastic display of flags and targets” and immediately offered Johns an exhibition. According to other accounts, Castelli discovered Johns in 1958.
early 1958
First solo show at the Leo Castelli Gallery
Johns's first solo show at the Leo Castelli Gallery, in early 1958, was well received: all but two of the eighteen works on view sold. Alfred H. Barr Jr., founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, bought three paintings, the first works by Johns to enter a museum collection; the trustees feared attacks by patriotic groups over Flag, so Barr arranged for the architect Philip Johnson to buy it and donate it to the museum in 1973.
1960
Takes up lithography at Tatyana Grosman's ULAE
In 1960 Tatyana Grosman, founder of Universal Limited Art Editions, invited Johns to her printmaking studio on Long Island. Beginning with lithographs of his familiar motifs, such as Target (1960), he went on to publish over 180 editions with ULAE in a variety of techniques.
1961
Parts from Rauschenberg
In 1961 Johns's romantic relationship and close collaboration with Robert Rauschenberg, begun in 1953, came to an end; Rauschenberg had been a profound artistic influence on him.
