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 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.
