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 abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
