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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
