Jasper Johns Born on this Day

Johns, Jasper (1930– ) [Source: www.biography.com] Painter, sculptor, and printmaker, born in Augusta, Georgia, USA. He studied at the University of South Carolina, became a painter in New York City in 1952, and was attracted by the Dadaist ideas of Marcel Duchamp. Because conventional art critics placed so much emphasis on ‘self expression’ and ‘originality’, he chose to paint flags, targets, maps, and other pre-existing images in a style deliberately clumsy and banal. He was one of the creators of Pop Art.
