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 minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
