Publisher: Gemini G.E.L. Los Angeles - Suite: Casts from United - Medium: Original lithograph on Laga Narcisee Paper // Face by Jasper Johns is a lithograph that utilizes a bold red square as its primary focus, with subtle textural variations and intricate linework. At the center of the composition, a faint outline suggests the form of a face or profile, interwoven with abstract shapes and markings, creating a sense of ambiguity. The word FACE appears in reversed lettering, adding a layer of introspection and challenging the viewer's perception. Johns, known for his exploration of symbols and familiar imagery, employs red as an intense, emotive backdrop that contrasts with the delicate linework, prompting viewers to consider themes of identity and representation. The work’s minimalistic style and symbolic elements invite deeper contemplation of what lies beneath surface appearances.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
