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 Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
