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 appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
