Lithograph in four colors on Kochi paper // Jasper Johns' Painting with Two Balls I (1962) is a lithograph that showcases his exploration of abstraction and pop art elements. Utilizing a primary color scheme—red, yellow, and blue—the artwork is divided into three horizontal sections. The lithograph is marked by expressive brushstrokes and textural smudges, creating a sense of depth and movement. At the center of the piece, two physical spheres protrude between the yellow and red sections, adding a three-dimensional aspect and disrupting the otherwise flat composition. This element challenges the viewer’s perception of painting as a purely two-dimensional medium, highlighting Johns’ interest in the intersection of object and image.

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.
