Jasper Johns: Modern Masters series by Richard Francis is an enlightening new interpretation of one of today's most influential artists featuring over 100 illustrations - 48 in colour. For more than thirty years Jasper Johns has been making art that teases viewers with the wilful obscurity of its content, while offering rich visual pleasures with the beauty of its form, colour, and surface. The author is a highly respected art historian and critic chosen for his ability to think clearly and write well. The volume presents a thorough survey of the artist's life and work, as well as statements by the artist, an illustrated chapter on technique, a chronology, lists of exhibitions and public collections, an annotated bibliography, and an index.
