Original Lithograph in Colors on Wove Paper - Published by Gemini GEL and Jasper Johns - For the Whitney Museum of American Art 50th Anniversary // Jasper Johns' Double Flags is a limited edition lithograph produced between 1979 and 1980, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Whitney Museum of American Art. This work reflects Johns' signature focus on the American flag as a recurring theme in his career, presenting two flags stacked vertically. The vibrant red, white, and blue colors are rendered with a graphic precision that captures both familiarity and abstraction, blurring the line between representation and symbolism. The lithograph’s layered texture and meticulous attention to detail evoke movement, making the flags appear as though they are shifting in the breeze, contributing to the dynamic energy of the composition.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
