Bring affordable gallery style to your home with posters from American and European museum collections. Obsessed with well-known images, Jasper Johns attached objects to the painted canvas as a way to incorporate mundane objects into a personal language. He sought to make the world his own, but at the same time creating a space in which the viewer’s experience was never defined but rather open to change and even contradiction.
